Remington Customer Service...

[Andy Griffith]

I called them up and told them I had a single barreled shotgun to send back for repair. They said great, they'd send out a label since I pressed them for one. She then asked me for the serial number, and I gave it to her- and she said it wasn't in their system. I assured her that it was a Remington 12 gauge single barrel and I wanted the headspace repaired since it was out of specifications through use, and I'd like to have it reblued while they're at it. She's sending me the label.

I wonder what's going to happen when they open the box to find a Remington No. 3 made in 1896?
You don't think they confused it with one of those russian jobs they were selling a while back, do you?

If they say something that they won't repair it- I'll say that S&W customers send back stuff this old all the time.
(I won't say whether they repair it or not)

LOL, I can't wait to hear their response.

No, No!
I want my bore bored.
Rebored that is, son. *In a Foghorn Leghorn voice*

That brings up a good question: Is a lifetime warranty good for the lifetime of the original owner, or the lifetime of the firearm? If it's the first, you're SOL.

Good luck with that. My guess is that Remington will not repair your shotgun.

+1 on the bet you get it returned unrepaired.

+2 on the bet you get it returned unrepaired.

thanks for making the cost of a new Remington go up by wasting their money....

Ha Ha I think the same thing every time I read about someone sending something back to S&W for something silly.
More power to you for saying it out loud.

My understanding is that Remington does not actually do the work themselves anymore. I sent a SP-10 back for repairs and it was sent to a shop right near their location. I think it was called White Dog Gunsmithing or something like that. I have the paperwork and a card somewhere still. They were Remington employess at one time. I was very happy with the work they performed. The turn around time was very fast. When I talked to them on the phone about the problems I was having with the gun, they were very accomadating. Apparently, I had fired many more rounds, in a couple waterfowl seasons, than the average SP-10 semiauto 10 gauge encounters in several lifetimes. I was very happy with their work and would not hesitate on sending another gun to them. Joe
