my new SPR453 - pics but not the bragging kind | Thread profile

Called Dick's today to check the status. The gun manager said that it was sent right away but that it was returned to factory and will take a while. Three or four weeks, he will call when it comes back to him. It has already been three weeks; I hope he doesn't mean three or four more. It is a laugh - Remington has a big blurb on their site about the danger of buying used guns, how you have to ...

You got that right Jeremiah. Keep us posted.

I own a MP153 and love it. Too bad about your situation. You mentioned your Credit Card company had already paid the bill. You have leverage through your CC Company to get a resolution of this. I would call my CC Company and demand they force Dick's to issue a refund or resolve the issue, NOW! If they come through with the refund, you can go buy another one. That is , if you are not already ...

When I took the gun back, I told the gun manager straight out that I read these barrels are not interchangeable like a Remington is. I'm sure I picked it up here at SGW (I researched quite a while before buying the gun - just wish I had called Cabela's for a quote.) Jeremiah This link to Remington confirms that the ...

I picked the gun up yesterday.Was over at the mall where I bought it and decided to go into Dick'sto ask inquire about the gun again. The manager was there and whenI asked him about it, he said that it came in "yesterday" and he hadn'thad a chance to call me about it yet....but he could give it back to meright now. So I took him up on it. I checked the barrel in the store.It must be a new barrel,...

I am glad you have the gun back.Order some Brownells Oxpho Blue to touch up your blueing.It is the best on the market. Heat the metal with a torch and it works evenbetter. You can sometimes use one of your house keys to get the choke outif your in a pinch.Even if your going to paint the gun, it's a good idea to have blueingsolution on hand for touch up on any of your guns. Works great on ...

They seem to utilize bait-n-switch as a matterof corporate policy.The best luck I had was with e-mails directly to their corporate HQ, withreference to the fact that I frequent a good number of online gun relatedforums, and ...

Jeremiah, glad to hear you got your shotgun before September 1st. Let usknow how you like the shotgun once you get out shooting. Run some magnumsthen high brass loads through your SPR453 for break in... I'll bet youwon't have to worry about recieving your gas adjuster wrench by Goose/Doveseason. Good shooting..!

I started a new thread with my initial thoughts; this one has the bigpicture in and the formatting keeps breaking (no more long links, thankslol). That and I am ready to put this experience behind me .http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?p=6 48213#648213Jeremiah

Full-I hope you are not about to enter EAA hell. They have the worstreputation for customer service and warranty work as evidenced by thepeople who own Witness pistols-also imported by EAA. They told me they donot even have barrels. I wanted to get a 24' or 26' barrel to replace my28".I'm curious about the fitted barrel statement. If a barrel is damagedsomehow, does this mean that the gun is now ...
