Remington 870 and 1100 Woes Update...

http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=456091

In this thread several weeks ago I discussed how I had two Remingtons fail on the same day at the skeet range... The repairs have been completed...

From the Remington Warranty Center Gunsmith's notes:

870 Wingmaster:

Chamber is undersized.. Reamed to Spec and polished.. Factory extractor spring is too weak. Replaced with new spring.. Test Fired

(This Wingmaster was a replacement for the Lemon Wingmaster, Remington gave up on fixing)

1100 Skeet:

Action bar assembly fractured. Installed new action bar.. Test Fired

The funny thing about the 1100 is that i've never fired anything hotter than 3 Dram Skeet loads through it and the action bar problem resembled something that might occur with many rounds of far hotter loads than what I feed it..
