Remmy 750 Jamming

[McLernon]

I have tried to get some input on other forums but got no help. I hope that someone on this forum knows how to fix my cycling problem. I am told by Remington that the problem is in the magazine. Can anyone shed some light on this? Is there a simple modification that I can make to fix it?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

First there is no information for any opinions in your request? We have no idea what the rifle is doing other than a generic 'jamming'. Secondly this is a new model and you've contacted Remington, why not just let them fix it.. It may take a while but they likely want you to be as happy as you can with a new model they're trying to sell.. I vote, send it back!

The rifle is a 308. The rounds jam up against the top inside of the receiver( slanting upward) occasionally.

Note I am in Canada and cannot send the gun to U.S. I could return the gun to the store but it would take months and months for them to get it thru to the U.S. and back.

Is anyone aware of the specific problem with the mags? That is my question. If so what can be done to fix it.

Thanks

The 750 is a push feed so the magazine must release the round at the correct angle and time for it to feed itself into the chamber. The magazine is fairly easy to replace and is what I'd do first. It's usually the problem.. It is possible to bend feed lips to adjust feed but you'll likely end up needing a new mag. But here goes. Remember these are just suggestions and from a distance with out truly seeing the problem in action. Mags use the lips to control the feeding round. Try closing the feed lips a bit to keep the round under control a bit longer. If the opening is tapered squeeze the front closer together, if parallel try closing the lips. Also be sure the mag is seated correctly and is fairly solidly mounted in the action. Remember the magazine will react differently in the firing cycle than when operated by hand.

Thanks Gunnut69. I just checked both my mags and they were slightly tapered, about .007 inches more open at the front so I bent them both carefully so they are now parallel. The steering gates I left untouched.

I'll give the rifle a try at the range and post the results next week.

Thanks again.

Hello Gunnut69:

Well the mag modification you suggested works!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried my reloads loaded long and Remington factory ammo with no jams. Thanks for the helpful advice.

Thanks Again
