Over a year ago, purchased a Model 1187 Parkeriized Police Autoloading Shotgun/Synthetic Stock 18"BBL 12GA. with a mag extention.
My purchase was easy to make based on the outstanding reputation of Remington shotguns as well as strong opinions from fellow shooters and friends.
The original gun was a lemon. Intercept latch fell to my feet on first shot and cycling ceased. After 40 plus days at an Authorized Remington repair center the gun was returned to me "fixed". The gun was still nonfunctioning.
I insisted Remington replace the gun and they did. A few months later I got another NEW shotgun.
Sent this gun to my gunsmith for modifications. Vang Comp sends the gun back to him saying it has an oversized bore and can't get Vang's system.
I threw this experience around the horn and the prevailing opinion is that Remington's quality has taken a complete dive.
Been over a year since I purchased my Remington and I still don't have it......and it sounds like, no matter what, I will never get the gun I KNEW I was buying.
Any similar experiences with Remington lately?
