[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1179746, member: 4191"] Human nature seems to be one sour interaction with a manufacturer is enough to swear off any future business with that manufacturer. I had a Rem 870 12ga 3" magnum shotgun that wouldn't eject Remington Peters 3" Magnum shot shells. The mouth of the fired shells was too long to clear the ejection port. After showing my gun to the local gunsmith, I sent it off to Remington. They told me to pound nails. Said they didn't make those shells and to find some other shells to shoot through the shotgun. Told them the shells were Remington Peters. Didn't matter. There was no easy fix for my shotgun. The ejector would have needed to have been set back in the receiver in order for the empty hulls to clear the ejection port. Too much time and money lost for Remington to take care of their problem. I sold that 870 and moved on. Only Remingtons I've ever considered purchasing after that single experience were used guns - that had been blueprinted by a gunsmith. I did buy one [I][B]used[/B][/I] Versa Max. Which seems like a nice shotgun. I will never directly put money into the Remington coffers for the rest of my life, by purchasing a new firearm that's made/sold by Remington. So goes human nature. I still complain about my single experience with Remington's customer service department... [/QUOTE]
