[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1090211, member: 50867"] Just my 2 cents, but 1. The rifle is twenty years old 2. Remington cuts their threads using a tap. These appear to have been cut (or recut) on a lathe. 3. The previous owner and the previous/previous owner say they never had it worked on. ?? 4. From the looks of it, IMO, the work isn't even worthy of an apprentice machinist's first job. Do we truly expect Remington to pick up the pieces on this? Sorry, guys, but I don't see that happening unless their records indicate that at some point within the range of serial numbers applicable to this rifle they had some manufacturing issues. I don't back the work I did twenty years ago if it comes back today, especially if it's had three owners over that time and I have no way of knowing who played with it since it left my shop. [/QUOTE]
