Remington 700 recall

[aaronoto]

8 years worth of production, ridiculous…  I'll be buying a Timney trigger before I send mine back to Remington.  I can only imagine what the turnaround time will be if you send it back to Remington...

Pretty much what im thinking

Timneys are relatively cheap I think $120 with a safety installed. Get the one with the safety installed!!! No telling how long the wait is to get your gun back from remington.

We had a problem with my son's 700.  He was shooting it from the bench and it did not fire even though the safety was in the forward position.  While he stayed in shooting position I touched the safety and the rifle discharged.  We bought a Timney trigger as a replacement.  When we were taking the original trigger out a circlip fell off it during extraction.  I don't know if it had already come off or was knocked off while removing the action from the stock.

We installed the Timney but now the bolt release button is sticky at times so we are going to bed the action and increase the clearance around the trigger group.

I have a 700 from the '70s and have never had this problem.

I wonder if the modifications (Wyatt mag box, and action bedding) I have made to my 700 will affect the recall repairs?
Im going to give them a call monday am and see.

I would just pull it apart and send them just the barreled action.  Should be all they really need since the issue has to do with just the trigger assembly.

The more I think of t the more I like the idea of buying a Timney... of course I will need 2 since both my 700s have a trigger recall...

A buddy of mine just bought a used Sendero with the X-Mark trigger on there. The first thing he did was adjust the pull down until it was very light. Sure enough, we went out and it fired when he was cycling the bolt pretty aggressively. I pulled it out of the stock and adjusted the weight a little higher for him and that fixed the problem. He had it down below 3# and that's when it gave him problems.

The recall probably wouldn't be necessary if everyone just followed the instructions.

My .17 Fireball is a 700 Remington, and I adjusted it down to a lighter trigger pull.  So far, no problems, but if I ever do, I'll just put a Timney in it.  I'd never send a gun back to Remington.  If you have expensive custom parts on them, they might replace them with stock parts, and not send the good parts back!  I know a target shooter who had that very thing happen to a gun he sent in for repair...

Remingtons sure arent what they used to be..this will further their rep even more, which is to bad for remington..the actions are still great for a building on!

The one bright spot (If there is one--) is that the recall notice comes from their new address down south.  New York finally got bad enough to drive away a business that has called NY home for over 100 years!

I think we should be giving Remington a pat of the corporate back. They recognized an issue of a bonding agent getting where it didn't belong and are recalling the rifles to fix them at their expense; including shipping both ways. When you compare that to recent auto recalls that the company hid from consumers for five years while people were getting injured or killed in their cars, it speaks well for Remington. This really isn't a trigger issue as much as it is "gunk" in the trigger that is fouling the works. If you have one of these rifles jump on the change for Remington to clean it up for you on the off season. My experience in dealing with Remington's people, both on the phone and in person, has always been positive and I bet this recall is handled efficiently.

Recently sent back 80+ guns back to them.. Wont send any of my personal guns back. Better to put Timneys in the last few, then wait however long for a repair..

Multiply that by the number of guns sent in--no thank you.  Timney refit for me....

Buy a tikka, problem solved!

For what, to use to unclog the toilet?
