Default Review Of Remington Arms Co

As you all know, I picked up a like-new, but used 870 Tactical last week

It has a really nice looking and feeling textured, matte black powdercoat finish. I was pleased to see it was powdercoat, because from what Ive seen of it in automotive applications, powdercoat is tough stuff!

Well, I got it home, tore it down, and did my usual clean, lubrication, and inspection I do on any new-to-me firearm. This is when I noticed what looked like small spots of the finish lifting on the reciever. Two of the spots flaked off as I wiped down the shotgun with an oily rag.

So I emailed the seller to confirm the shotgun was bought this June and had never been registerd with Remington for a warranty. I registered the warranty online, sent an email the next day about the finish issue....and found an email responce this morning asking for me to call. I called them, and without me saying a word, they told me, "it's not acceptible the finish has lifted. Im sending you a shipping label and we will make the shotgun right". It was as easy as that.

Just wanted to share what a great, hassle-free experience it was to deal with Remington. They havent seen a picture; they just said we will pay to ship her here to fix it. I didnt have to ask them to do a thing; they took the initiative.

I will update this when it is all said and done.

That is very good news, and exactly how all firearms companies should act.

Too bad it's the exception instead of the rule.

Way to go big green.

You sure Wilson didn't build it? That sounds more like their customer service than a mainstream manufacturer. Good deal.
