In my experience it's always best not to let anyone touch a gun that shoots like that.  I'm sure Remington will have the move sorted out soon enough, and NEF products will be way better than ever.  Having waited up to 2 years for a custom built gun before I just try to forget about them until they show up.

Got an e-mail from Remington today, apparently they think they might have shipped my gun out with a couple of pallets of finished orders to Gardner today. Then again they may not have, they won't apparently know until.....well they didn't say.  Really am starting to think they lost it.

With a 2 week inspection; I'm sure your gun will be in perfect condition when you get it. ::)

No it won't. Mine came in last night, front sight on. the barrel is damaged (like it was dropped on concrete). Worse than that, it has the (obviously) wrong recoil pad on it. I'll post pics.

Wow! This doesn't sound good what little I have read here so far about the barrel program.  What should I do?  I sent in my .223 Ultra Varmit receiver 2 days ago to get it fitted with a .243 bull barrel after talking with them on the phone.  I was told it would be about 4 weeks before I would get it back.  After reading just a few posts here this morning I am thinking of telling them to simply return it back to me, and see what the future holds for the barrel program.  Should have come to this forum before I sent it!!  Should I go thru with it or just have it sent back under circumstances???  Or would it better to just go purchase a whole new NEF .243 from Wal-Mart? ???

I wouldn't worry about it.

WOW: things are not looking that good with the repairs from them so far
Kevin: I think we are a week apart on shipping to them I should be getting my setup back I would say in a week or two I hope it correct
I will be a unhappy camper to get the gun and action back damaged

Oh for cryin' out loud! :'( :'( People will probably be shipping their guns to Gardner for the next twenty years because that is the address that came with the gun they bought years ago. So who's fault is that? When I sent guns in for barrels to the OLD H&R I didn't expect them back within three months. I had the common sense to not send in a gun to ANY place if I expected to need said gun anytime soon. Grow up and get over it!

Kevin,

Sorry to hear of all the problems you are having with Remington. Sounds like they are still the worst Customer Service in the Industry. I could write a book on how worthless they were 20 years ago, sounds as if nothing has changed. That is what happens to good Companies when they let the "Bean Counters" run them.

One Long story short. Bought a beautiful Model 1100 Light 20 ga Slugger brand new back in 1988,,,couldn't hit the same 55 gallon drum twice in a row at 50 yards, NO BULL,,,told remington the receiver was too loose (very sloppy) and the barrel could be turned side to side all locked up,,,I think it went back and forth on my dime 5 or 6 times,,,4 different barrels,,,2 different magazine tubes,,,took about a year for all of this,,,still wouldn't shoot worth crap,,,they didn't care,,,it was the crappy tollerence they had on the internal machining of the receiver,,,sold it at a big loss,,,bought an Ithaca Deerslayer,,,haven't dealt with BIG GREEN since,,,they lost a customer for life not because they don't make quality rifles/shotguns, they get it right once in a while, they lost a customer for life because they forgot about their customer.

I truely hope they can get their act together, don't look good for American Gun Companies. Never thought I would own a Mossberg back in my gun snob days, bought a brand new 12 ga Mossberg Model 9200 Slugster Combo about 15 years ago,,,have shot countless deer & turkey with that gun,,,had two small problems over the years which Mossberg Customer Service promptly took care of,,,Mossberg has one of the best Customer Service Departments in the Industry IMO.
