RM380 trigger bar issues and Remington's repair process.
Posted: Sun Sep 16, 2018 11:37 amHello all,
My RM380 started developing light primer strikes last range outing, so I disassembled it and gave it a thorough cleaning. Gave it a function check with a snap cap and found the problem had become incredibly worse, with the hammer failing to be drawn back even a fraction of its travel. Removed the right grip panel and found that the trigger bar was slipping very early off the hammer. I attempted to remove the trigger bar for inspection and it went flying, lost somewhere in the shop.
I've never dealt with Remington's repair services so I have a few questions I hope those of you who have dealt with them can answer:
1) How likely is Remington to send me a replacement trigger bar? Are they one of those companies that force you to send in the whole firearm so that they can replace the part?
2) If I do need to send it in, what kind of turn-arounds have you all experienced?
3) Is this sort of issue known to happen in RM380s?
Thank you all for your time.
