Remington 597 VTR

May I ask where you guys are getting these parts from? I want to get the VQ extractor as well as a couple spare parts for my vtr. my mag hold open spring broke, so I need that as well.
 
VTR Update

So was able to pick up the rifle yesterday night from Al Flahertys.
Just as nice as I remembered.

Went out to Silverdale this morning and ran through approx 400 rounds and can say that all is fine. Might have had maybe 4-6 occasions of either FTE or FTF but overall very impressed and happy with the purchase. We went through every brand I could find at it and there didn't seem to be anyone that it wouldn't accept.

Anyone looking to purchase one, no worries do so with confidence as they seem to be sorted out.

Ended up fitting it with an economical Fire Field 1.5-5x scope. For the money very nice features with varying brightness intensities and red and green reticles, heck more importantly it looks very cool.

What wasn't cool was my Marlin... which I'll post separately

cheers
 
Don't dry fire this gun

The Remington VTR's was one of my first tactical style 22's. Got it during the winter and had few chances to shoot it. However, showed it off alot to family and dry-fired it a lot. Didn't know it at the time but this would be the cause of a lot of trouble when I finilly got to shoot it. Jams, FTE's, FTL's, you name it. The major cause of my trouble was the dry fireing caused a burr to form on the edge of the end of the barrel. This was grabing the shell casing.
Five minutes work with a broken off chainsaw file fixed the problem. Guns a tack driver now. Liked the gun so much I got the camo version.
Still a ##### to break down to clean but worth every minute.

It's good to hear you were able to find a fix. I was told never to actually dry fire a rifle but have heard conflicting opinions. The VTR actually on occasion will not lock the bolt open on the last round with the 30rd clip and not knowing how many rounds you have fired a dry fire happens.
 
I have a vtr and it's solid. The 30rd mag sucked. If you fill it, it jams every second rd until you get to about 22 -23. I took the mag apart and cut the spring down a couple coils and it works good.
 
Does anybody know where I can order a collapsible stock for the vtr. I'm having a hell of a time or I'm I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for
 
you can use any AR style collapsible stock. remove the stock pad. the shaft that remains is threaded, simply remove and it accepts any ar stock. i used one that i had for my shotty from mesa tactical.

LOL I can't even fill it the dang thing it's so tight. Also funny how the mag if bought separately is a different finish and seems like a lower quality material then the one that came with the rifle. It's a bit too shiny for my liking compared to the matte of the supplied one.
 
Thanks factionrr that's what I thought I just didn't want to order one and have it not fit. Cool. Last night I put a rail and a grip
On the vtr much easier to handle. Just a recomendation.
