saddler Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Aye...replace a perfectly sound trigger with a bodged together replacement...THEN realise the "better" trigger is a bigger liability than the "problem" one! Free-dumb Group...run by accountants: whoever would guess? They need to hire some engineers, esp. for the Quality Control dept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul T Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) Oh, cock... After being plagued with months of ill health, stress at work and no time, I finally managed to get out and get the blasted thing zeroed. Now I've found this Thanks for the heads up anyway. edit: I've done a bit more digging and found this: http://www.remington.com/pages/news-and-resources/safety-center/safety-warning-recall-notice-Remington-model700-modelseven.aspx I've been up and checked mine and the trigger is ribbed - Happy Days Edited April 12, 2014 by Paul T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedster Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 I'd like to see how Remington can send me a "shipping label and carton", ****! I can't very well send it to them without a firearms export licence, my dealer was clueless and said he'd contact the importers (SMK) on Monday.

aister Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 My one is among those to be recalled but I fitted a timney trigger kit to my reminton 700 BDL soon after I got it so I cant see that mine has to go back. Somebody correct me if I am wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtaylor Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 There are quite a few videos and articles about this issue. It's certainly been a know problem for quite a number of years. Glad to see they are finally doing something about it. I hope no one has been hurt resulting from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, its a wait and see when the box turns up, but my guess is they will go to Remington UK...SMK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 So as the UK agent has now changed will all this be dealt with by Sports Marketing ? Be a good test as to their ability to cope with after sales service . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedster Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I've just spoken to Robin at SMK, they hadn't even heard of the issue! No surprise there then, so I emailed her the recall link. She said she'd consult and get back to me.I can't wait.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said she'd consult and get back to me. I can't wait.... Do i detect a hint of sarcasm there? My mates running a 700 and guess what, his is one of the ones affected. when he told me this my only reply was "glad i bought a Sako" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Mule Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 My choice was 50/50 for one of these or the Tikka. So glad I went with the T3 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Or you could just maintain your gun, keep it clean and dont let the trigger fill up with **** and go rusty. That will help you avoid having one of the 0.00075% of the 5 million guns sold which showed a problem that was actually victorious in a courtroom. Still it will be fun to see what SMK can do(now owned by remington) Hardly user neglect: A Remington investigation has determined that some XMP triggers might have excess bonding agent used in the assembly process. But as you say, will be interesting to see SMK's timely response. I've just emailed them and will see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
