barrels with *
« on: July 20, 2008, 05:07:03 PM »
I have an sb2 s# nm2127## handi rifle.I called customer service to see if an 500sw,444m, and a 450m could be fitted ? The reply was it could as long as it was a sb2 handi . I called back later and got another person asked the same question? I got the same reply.I made them check the serial # they said Ok. I then asked them if said barrels were in stock. The reply was "to the best of my knowledge". I then asked how much a trigger job was,"all we do is disassemble the trigger clean it and coat it with a dry lube you can do this Yourself we do not stone or change any spring pressure and highly recommend you do not". The reason for this post is to ask ? This information does not make sense with what i read @ FAQ regarding s# and what i have read about the factory trigger job. Any info on this would be a great help thank you

It's not surprising that you're getting misinfo, the Remington people aren't familiar with H&Rs, very few, if any of the Gardner CS employees moved to Ilion, so it may take a while for them to get their act together. They may also have changed the policy on trigger jobs, or that's all they do for Remington firearms.  :-\ I wouldn't waste your time and money sending a frame made before 1999 in for one of the * marked barrels, the people actually doing the fitting are from Gardner or have Gardner supervision and they know better.
