StillLearnin Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Well some of you may remeber my O-ring broke a week or two ago and I had to get another. I finally found a factory replacement and installed it. After I replaced it I went duck hunting and when I got home to clean it the o-ring comes out in about 9 pieces. Now obviously somthing is not right, but what? The gun shot fine the entire day with no problems at all, the only time I noticed something was wrong was when I took it apart to clean it. What should I do, The gun is still under warrenty sinc I only bout it in Aug., but if I send it in I will lose it for a couple of weeks and there isn't that much time left in waterfowl season!!!?? Any Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Re: More O-ring problems!! Wow! I have never had one shred. I have replacced them just as preventative maintenance. Do you have a sharp edge on your magazine tube or the piston? It could be cutting the o-ring causing you these problems. You can keep replacing the o-rings until the end of the season, or you can cut your losses and send it back sooner. If you wait, I would not say it has been acting this way for X many sets of o-rings. Do you have a Rem authorized warranty gunsmith near you? They have them listed on Remington's web page. Maybe they can get you a quicker turn around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillLearnin Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Re: More O-ring problems!! I don't think they are being cut because they come out in a number of pieces. The first on was in 2 pieces and the second in about 6. Almost like they are brittle and shattering ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Re: More O-ring problems!! Where are you storing the gun? If it is near some solvents, or if you are cleaning the o-rings with a solvent, you are self inflicting the damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Re: More O-ring problems!! I also wonder if you are getting some OLD new stock o rings. These rings should be soft and pliable when first put in. There is a gunsmith in Ilion NY [Not far from the Remington factory], I believe it is "White Dog Gunsmithing." You might try to get in contact with them. If you can't find their no. PM me. I have one of their business cards somewhere. I'll just have to look for it. Or call information for Ilion NY and ask for the number. Actually I just remembered where the card was. I'll PM the no. to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
