Help Center

If you are concerned that your gun is involved in a recall we would suggest that you review the information found in our Safety Center.

If you still have questions after review of this information please do not hesitate to contact us at 1-800-243-9700 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., EST, Monday through Friday and one of our representatives will be happy to assist you with your concerns.  Please have the Model number and serial number available when calling.

Most repairs take approximately 4-6 weeks depending on the season, availability of parts, and what type of work you are having done. Rebluing, refinishing, and other work take a little longer than standard repairs.

A Service Request Number is now required on all firearms coming in for repair.  Please call us at 1-800-243-9700 M-F 9am-5pm EST to obtain your SR number.  You can find more details about this on the Repair Services page on our website.

Twist imparts spin on a bullet which dramatically improves its stability in flight. For example, if a barrel has a twist rate of 1 in 9”, then the rifling would complete 1 full revolution in 9 inches.

Heavier bullet weights in a given caliber require more twist. More twist is indicated by a lower number- 1 in 9 has more twist than 1 in 12.

Firearm manufacturers select twist rates for their guns which effectively stabilize most popular bullet weights for that caliber. If bullets are used in a given firearm that are on the extreme ends bullet weight for its caliber accuracy of the firearm may be effected.

To manufacture our button rifled barrels, stock metal is cut down and drilled with a mandrill with reverse rifling which cuts out the lands and grooves of the rifling.

This mandrill is pushed through the barrel. This process is used for our Custom Shop Model 40-X and Model 40-XR rifles, the Model 504, Model 597, and Model 710 rifles.

Our hammer forged barrels start with cylindrical metal which is hammered around the mandrill. Although this process somewhat stresses the metal, the barrel is heat treated to relieve this stress. This process is used for our standard production rifles & shotguns.

No. 

The 17HMR is a rimfire cartridge and is chambered for specific rimfire rifles. It ignites by the firing pin hitting the rim of the cartridge. This ammunition is NOT interchangeable with the .17 caliber centerfire rifle where the firing pin will contact the center of the cartridge for ignition. Always be sure to check any ammunition for correct caliber or gauge before using in your firearms.

The bolt on the Model 710/770 is not like a conventional bolt action rifle. For the last 100 plus years, bolt action rifles have all basically been made the same way; the locking lugs on the bolt lock up into the receiver, while the barrel is screwed on. The Model 710/770 is a completely new way of thinking. The bolt locks directly into the barrel, and the barrel is hydraulically pressed into the receiver. Also, there are three locking lugs instead of two. This gives the rifle exceptional strength and accuracy.

Since the bolt locks into the barrel, the receiver now simply guides the bolt. The receiver of the Model 710/770 has a self lubricating synthetic insert to guide the bolt into the barrel. With this insert, and the three locking lugs, there is a completely different feel. When pushing the bolt forward, there is a different feeling than on the Model 700 or Model Seven. This is because of the contact of the metal bolt and the synthetic insert and is normal. The "feel" is different, but the quality and performance of Remington is still there.

Instructions on sight adjustment can be found in your owner's manual. We recommend starting at a range of 25-30 yards for initial sighting in. In order to adjust the sights on your firearm, move the rear sight in the same direction as you need to move the bullet on the target. There is a windage and elevation screw that should be loosened to make the following adjustments.

 

Depending on the model of firearm, the warranty may be either two years or one year.  To view our complete firearms warranty information, please go to the SUPPORT section of our site.

With the hundreds of different models produced over the past 200 years, it can sometimes be difficult to determine the age of your firearm. 

Since serial numbers were not required until 1968, your firearm may not have a serial number.  For models without a serial number, we may be able to determine the age by the 2-3 letters that are stamped on the barrel.  If your firearm does have a serial number, if you will call or email us the serial number and model number we can determine the approximate age of your firearm.

The heart of Remington law enforcement rifles is the legendary Model 700 action. It's what makes our handbuilt Model 40-XB rifles so accurate and rock-solid dependable.

The foundation of the Model 700 action is its unique bolt design. The bolt face, barrel, and receiver surround and support the cartridge head with three overlapping rings of solid steel. The Model 700 receiver is machined from a solid block of ordnance-grade steel, then drilled and tapped for scope mounts. All of our standard Model 700 Police rifles have heavy, free-floating 26" barrels crowned at the muzzle for unparalleled accuracy and stability.

The Model 700P LTR features a fluted 20" barrel and is 1 1/2lbs. lighter than the standard 26" version. In the .223 Remington chambering, the twist has been changed from 1 in 12" to 1 in 9" in order to maximize the ballistic stability of heavier bullets. Model 700P's have a three to five-shot magazine capacity depending on the caliber and hinged floor plates.

Both the standard Model 700P and the Tactical Weapon System feature composite stocks reinforced with DuPont Kevlar and fiberglass. They'll stay dimensionally stable in any weather and under the worst tactical situations.

The stock is laid up around an aircraft-grade aluminum bedding block that runs the full length of the receiver. It has a textured, black, non-reflective finish and comes with sling swivel studs.

The TWS package includes a Leupold Vari-X III (3.5 x 10) scope with a Duplex reticle and flip-open lens covers. A Harris bi-pod, a Michaels 1" Quick-Adjust sling with swivels, a rugged Pelican hard case.  

The Model 700P LTR (Light Tactical Rifle), chambered for .308 Win., features a hinged floorplate and slimmed down stock. The flutes in the 20" LTR not only assist in weight reduction and heat dissipation, but are engineered to enhance barrel rigidity for pinpoint accuracy.

Due to the wide variety and selection of firearms we offer, it would be difficult to list the suggested retail pricing for each model here.  You can however find the MSRP (Manufacturer suggested retail pricing) as well as a comparison chart and dealer locator by viewing the specific firearm you are interested in under the product section of our website at www.remington.com.

There are a number of resources that provide complete specifications and dimensions of rifle calibers.  

The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI) is an association of the nation's leading manufacturers of firearms, ammunition and components. SAAMI was founded in 1926 at the request of the federal government and tasked with:

• Creating and publishing industry standards for safety, interchangeability, reliability and quality
• Coordinating technical data
• Promoting safe and responsible firearms use  

Cartridges of the World by Frank C. Barnes is another excellent resource for detailed information on cartridges, history, and dimensions. 

While it is impossible to list all of the calibers produced, the following is a brief listing of calibers that Remington offers categorized according to Short Action, Short Action Magnum, Long Action, and Long Action Magnum:

The Model 722 was discontinued in 1962.  However, 6mm Remington and .244 Remington ammunition are interchangeable. Remington initially chambered.244 Remington caliber rifles with a 1:12 rate of twist which is commonly used to stabilize the lighter bullets. If your rifle is marked: .244 Remington, you may not achieve superior accuracy with bullets over 100 grains.

If parts are in stock, you should receive your order within 7-10 business days from the time we process your order. 

Many Remington parts can be ordered through our online store, to visit the Remington online parts store Click https://www.remington.com/shop/.

There are a number of differences between the Model 750 and Model 7400.

On the Model 750, the gas orifice hole is drilled at a 45 degree angle, instead of a 90 degree like the Model 740, Model 742 and Model 7400. This does 2 things; it eliminates the 90 degree turn at the gas port, and it eliminates shaving off copper in the bore from the projectile. The copper shavings in the gas port of the Model 7400 would build up over time, and cause the gun to not cycle reliably.

The gas block on the barrel has been moved rearward and therefore the gas orifice hole has been moved rearward. Moving the gas hole back we can capture the gases sooner, and under greater pressure. This will greatly increase reliability by giving more consistent bolt velocities, as well as allow us to offer carbine models in calibers not possible in the Model 7400.

The barrel extension is now made as a cast part instead of a machined part. By casting, we can better control internal geometries, and eliminate machining burrs. This again, translates into better reliability.

We have added a nickel/Teflon coating to the bolt head. This allows the bolt to move and cam into place more freely.

Since the gas system is greatly improved, we can now use the R3 pad, and not have to worry about functionality.

We lowered the drop at the comb so that you can use the rifle sights easily.

These black spots are corroded areas on the stainless steel. This is due to contact with either blood, acids etc. The difference between stainless and normal carbon steel is the addition of chromium. This element aids in the resistance to corrosion. Stainless in the right conditions will corrode, even marine grade stainless. It is our opinion that the steel has been exposed to conditions where this has allowed the stainless to blemish. The metalwork could be bead blasted to remove this, otherwise only regular lubrication can prevent this from happening again.

REP is a proof mark and stands for "Remington English Proof".

The front and rear sights can be removed from the Model 700, 7400 and 7600 rifles. The front sight changed in 2004. Previous to 2004, there was a front sight base held by two screws and the dovetail front sight tapped into the base. Current models use a one piece front sight that has one screw that attaches it to the barrel.

Once removed on the Model 700, the holes from these can be plugged with the receiver plug screws, located on the top of the receiver.

For the Model 7400 & 7600 you will need to order Model 700 receiver plug screws for the sight holes. To order direct, call our Parts Department at 1-800-243-9700 or visit our online store at https://www.remington.com/shop/

Because our firearms are camouflaged by an outside vendor, we would be unable to have your firearm camouflaged at the factory. You may wish to contact the following after-market camouflage vendor for more assistance:

Treebark Outfitters 800-843-2266

The rate of twist in a Remington Model 700 Muzzleloader, produced 1996-2004, is 1 in 28".

Introduced in 2014, the new Model 700 Ultimate Muzzleloader has a 1 in 26" rate of twist.

The Model 7400 and Model 7600 are both offered with a Monte Carlo style stock, which allows you to use a scope more comfortably. However, if you wish to change to a straight comb stock, we do offer wood and synthetic stocks which are interchangeable with these models. Current 20 gauge Model 870,  Model 1100 and Model 11-87 butt stocks interchange. You may order one of these stocks by calling our parts department at 1-800-243-9700 M-F 9-5 EST, or ordering direct on our online store at https://www.remington.com/shop/

With a rich history starting in 1816, Remington Arms is the oldest gun manufacturer in America.  You can find more information on our timeline, or through a number of books that have been produced including "Remington, America's Oldest Gunmaker" by Roy Marcot or "The Art of Remington Arms" by Tom Davis.  There is also an organization "Remington Society of America" that continues to research and update information on our almost 200 years of history.

A general rule you can use follows.

For deer, antelope, sheep and goat we recommend at point of impact that you have 900 ft lbs minimum, 1200 ft lbs is suggested as adequate and 1500 ft lbs is the best for a humane kill.
For Elk or bear up to 600 lbs: minimum is 1500 ft lbs, adequate is 2000 ft lbs and preferred is 2500 ft lbs.
For large bear or moose: 2100 ft lbs minimum, 2800 ft lbs adequate and 3500 ft lbs is best.

You can view ballistics on the loads we offer in our online catalog at www.remington.com.

The Model XR-100 is based off of the obsolete Model XP100. The Model 7 base interchanges with the Modle XR-100.

Stain selection depends entirely on how dark you desire your stock to be. The final choice should be governed by your taste. Applying a small amount of stain to the barrel channel inletting may be helpful to your decision making process.

NOTE: For best results, follow the stain manufacturer's directions closely, since the method of application and drying and curing time may vary.

There are many types of finish available on the market that will give a beautiful, durable finish, and unless you are familiar with the pros and cons of each finish, seek the advice of a finish expert. Your local hardware store may be a good place to look.

Boiled linseed oil or tung oil is an excellent choice of a wood sealer that penetrates and hardens to form a durable, low gloss finish. These finishes usually can be applied with a clean rag and allowed to soak in before the excess is removed. To enhance the natural wood grain, several coats are recommended with a buff of 4/0 steel wool between coats.

If you need further assistance, we suggest taking your firearm to a Remington Authorized Repair Center.

A lot of our early rifles do not have serial numbers. Before 1968 it was not mandatory for us to use serial numbers. To check the rifles manufacturing date, we would use the barrel code. The barrel code is a series of 2-3 letters found on the barrel close to the receiver, on the left hand side. If you contact us at 1-800-243-9700 or Contact us with the model of your firearm and 2-3 barrel code, we can determine the date of manufacture.

The model number is usually stamped on the side of the receiver.  Some models it could be on underside of the firearm, just forward of the trigger guard.

Remington offers a number of different stocks to suit your individual hunting or shooting needs.  You can order a factory approved part by calling us at 1-800-243-9700 or through our online store at www.shopremingtoncountry.com.

There are also many aftermarket companies that offer stocks that fit our firearms. Here are 3 examples of companies that offer synthetic stocks that will fit some of our rifles and shotguns:

Please note that any alterations or modifications will void the warranty on your firearm.

Special attention should be taken that oil is removed from action parts. If a lubricant is desired, use dry graphite or similar non-congealing lubricant such as Rem Dri Lube. Note also that as the temperature rises, condensation can occur. Wipe the outside of your gun with a minimum of Rem Oil to prevent rusting.

There is a jack screw that allows you to regulate the point of aim on the barrels. The left barrel is considered a fixed barrel and the right is a floating barrel. The fixed barrel is set at 50mm. The 50mm tolerance basically means the gun has the ability to regulate the right barrel to 2 1/2 inches from the left.

Remington Model 742 Woodsmaster was offered from 1960-1980.

Manufactured 1973-1978

An article in the Army Times (January 2012) stated that Remington will make M24 Sniper Rifles available to service members for a limited time.

All information regarding the M24 program is located on our Remington Defense web site www.remingtonmilitary.com

You have two options:

1. Use standard 30-06 Sprg 180-gr CoreLokt ammunition and simply tell the system you are using the CoreLokt Ultra Bonded product.
2. You can also use the new HyperSonic® Rifle 30-06 SPRG 180-gr ammunition, but this is a little more involved:
   1. Power the optic ON.
   2. Wait for the optic to completely boot – about 4 - 7 seconds.
   3. Press <MODE> once to switch the optic to advanced operating mode.
   4. Press AND HOLD <MODE> for about 7 – 10 seconds.  After 3-4 seconds, the “HUD Console” will appear – DO NOT RELEASE THE MODE BUTTON.  After an additional ~5 seconds, and “Advanced HUD Console” will appear.
   5. Using the zoom out button, go down through the list of items until you reach MUZZLE ADJUST.  Using the wind rocker, increment the velocity to < 130 FPS >.
   6. Press <MODE> to exit the HUD Console.
   7. Remember to set the ammunition type to CLK in the HUD Console!
   8. NOTE:  This setting will be saved (even through powering off and back on) and will apply to all ammunition types.  So if you switch the Barnes load, you will need to set it back to < 0 FPS >.

The Model 7400 was completely redesigned from the Model 742. The barrel, bolt, receiver and action bar have been enhanced. Internal parts are not interchangeable between these models.

Remington introduced the Model 591 and Model 592, along with 5mm Remington rimfire ammunition in 1970. We believed that the 5mm cartridge, with a velocity of 2105 feet per second, was superior to the .22 Win. Mag cartridge with a velocity of 1910 feet per second. Unfortunately, we were unable to convince the shooting public. Therefore, we chose to discontinue manufacturing the Model 591 and Model 592 in 1974. Manufacturing of the 5mm ammunition was discontinued in 1982.

In the vast majority of cases, this is not actually a problem with the batteries.  After production of the Remington 2020 Digital Optic Systems began, an issue with the programming in the charging cradle was found that would prevent the cradle from recognizing a deeply-discharged battery could be charged.  This would cause the cradle to not charge the battery and turn on the red indicator light when charging was attempted.  The programming of the ‘firmware’ in the cradle was corrected and cradles with the updated firmware were marked with a sticker on the bottom of the cradle.  The sticker used was in two primary forms, but the presence of ANY sticker indicates the cradle firmware is up-to-date.  One version was simply a white sticker with the number 2 hand-written on it.  (See the attached picture.)  The other common form was a small rectangular sticker.

This is a version of the Model 541 that was discontinued in 1984. It featured an engraved receiver, trigger guard and high gloss walnut stock. The letter "S" stands for Sporter.

The PR3030A Accelerator bullet is designed with an exposed lead tip, in a configuration that is a bit more blunt than a typical .22 cal psp bullet. The geometry of the bullet tip combined with the fact that the recoil level of this round in a 30-30 rifle is very low; makes this round safe to shoot in rifles with tubular magazines.

The Model 760 Gamemaster is a pump action centerfire rifle produced from 1952-1981.
