870 problem or not ?

[Covey Ridge]

No matter how many parts you flip and flop, still doesn't make it an 870.

If you flip and flop them all, it will

Make sure to put a generous amount of oil on the spring as well.

Clean the spring with whatever, but make sure that there is not a generous amount of anything on the spring or inside the tube when you put it together.

Maybe because people are buying cheap chinese guns instead? Maybe they realized the market wants cheap guns, so they make those too.

If the Rems are so cheap, why is everyone replacing their chinese parts with Remington parts.

If CGN would quit buying this cheap ####, they would have little to talk about on the cheap shootie forum

like I said already, new Remington line are made in Russia.

Remingtons are made in the USA, Baikals are made in Russia.

It's not the manufacturer, or the cheap guns being the problem, it's the cheap consumer.

BINGO

Thank you..I would have tried to pry it out

Don't they come with a manual?

This was the best thread ever and a good way to end 2008. It gave me a good dose of laughs and giggles while I was getting my clown suit on for the party tonight. Thanks for the entertainment. Happy New Year to all!

Remington?

Have a look at their new line of "All American Guns" made in Russia!!

Now they have this Double Barrel Rifle from Russia. What a horrible gun! Machine marks all over the surface. Then they put red "Remington" on the side, not even engraving, just some kind of print on.

Remington has been losing money since like 2002. It's just as bad as the Big 3. Just look at Winchester!

Good luck!

...so let me get this straight, you deride American and Russian guns, and love Chinese guns? You've lost me. Americans, Germans, English, some Italians, Czechs, Finns etc make good guns. Russia makes OK to marginal guns. China makes marginal to OK guns. There's no best, better, or worst. Sometimes, even the good guys build crap. However, crap, the 870 is not. The Grizz... it's mediocre.

And, forgive me to those who argue Remington's like the big three and builds obsolete products, but can you give me a breakdown of what you believe has changed in bolt action and pump action firearms technology since 1918? NOTHING. What should they do, add more plastic? I get a kick out of folks and their ideas here sometimes... I actually really don't like the Remington 700, but I have to say, it is one of the most accurate out of the box rifles going. It's also good enough for the US military and secret service snipers... Obsolete? Tell them that. Oh yes, but we're discussing shotguns... how about this, what does a Benelli Navo do that an 870 doesn't? Nothing.

Orrr.... better yet, what does an Grizzly do that an 870 doesn't? I think this thread gives the answer there! ...besides supporting communist China over the country that benefits us most that is.

If you buy a Remington for $299, you won't have to replace a thing. Buy a Canadian made, Dlask barrel in your choice of lengths and then you have a combo hunter/defence gun with, in my case, both 12.5" and 26" Rem Choke barrels that swap back and forth in about 10 seconds. Buy a Grizzly... that's all you've got, a Grizzly. Add some Remington parts to make it work right... and you really should have bought the Remington in the first place.

Now, am I upset Grizzlies are on the market? HECK NO! Gets more people into shooting. But they're toys... to some, that's all the want and need, all the more power to them. Myself, I just picked up one of Remington's latest production 870 Expresses for a smidge over three hundred bucks... it's damn good. They've actually even upped the quality, internal components are polished now and are more reminiscent of older vintage guns and quality. And I won't need to replace any parts with Remington ones...

Brother, I am on the company and you are on the guns.

Remington are making some serious mistakes, which will terminate this legendary brand. They should a different brand for all the import guns. That's just business common sense. I was going to buy a Remington 700 but the horrible double rifle just keeps me wondering what kind of stupid company I am dealing with.

Other than that, Remington 700 and 870 are super guns, period.
