Am I getting taken?

[Drewski2324]

I have a Remington 700 in .223 with a bull barrel that has had extraction issues since the day I bought it (used 10 years ago). It currently resides in Idaho and I had my dad take it to a local gunsmith. After an inspection the gunsmith said the headspace was too large and the barrel needed to be reseated. I do not know very much about how the ejection system works but the price seems high. Any thoughts?

I recently sold a savage 243 that had the same issues. The savage was under warantee but I already sent it back once and it was gone for 4 months So I decided it was not worth it. I had it looked at by a local smith and he wanted more then I purchased the gun for to fix it.

I would have called Remington and bitched until they gave in or a good discount.......how much did the GS quote you?

Time to be a pita and call Remington.......last time I had to be a pita I flat out told them if your going to overcharge me 200 I'll be bugging you until I get my 200 worth of being a pita......they put me on hold and credited my account the 200......

 

[Drewski2324]

I may just have to pull the pita card. He wants $200 to re seat it. I meant to put that in the firs post.

I'm thinking $200.00 doesn't sound like that much to reseat, when you think about a plumber, electrician, or mechanic getting $100.00+ an hour for their work......Just sayin'

John at Fine Firearms should have the correct answer to this question.

 

[Drewski2324]

I don't think he is going to do the work. He mentioned sending off to Remington.

 

[ilovesprig]

Hell, if he's just sending it to Remington.......Do it yourself.......What was the $200.00 for?
