I do not believe tht there is a time limit as to when the gun was produced. This goes back to when the 700 series was introduced. If you gunserial number is listed you get a new trigger free of cost. Mine had the newer X Mark Pro trigger and it was on the list as was a guys X MarkPro from work. The recall spans the full timeline of the Model 700 series and several different rigger designs. Sorry but I am not fully versed as to why more than one trigger assemly is affected.
I did not want to send my gun in and have it gone for ????????? getting a free trigger from Reminton so I put an aftermarket trigger in that is well rated. Was gonna put in a Jewel but some say they do not handle the grime of being in the field as well as a Timmney. A Jewel is supposedly a better bench trigger though. The Timney is every bit as crisp as the orginal Remington trigger and can be set down to a lighter pull but not as light as a Jewel can be set.


Have tried many different triggers, jewel is the best and reliable. Use it on my long range rifle. The rifle gets used alot and dragged everywhere, and no issues with trigger system. Once you go to a Jewel you will determine the rest of the triggers to be garbage. I have some timney triggers on tree stand rifles which is what they still work ok for. The jewel gives so much adjustablity and breaks like glass.

i picked up 60lbs of tannerite exploding targets from Caroline supply the other day. NO PAL needed. They are impressive. Shooting off 4 pounds at once will have the neighbours over from a mile away, asking if everyone is alright. (This happened lol) A one pound target will take the top third of a fence post off. I will post video when I can . My son had an old pair of biking boots, we stuck a one pounder in one of the boots, shot it with the XCR and blasted that boot into a million pieces for 50 yards in all directions. Crazy. My bet is that it will be banned in no time.

I had put my name on a list for a Russian SKS and the shipment just came in and the one I got is a brand new never fired 1954 SKS. I thought that was kinda cool cuz I was told it was a refurbished gun. I took it apart and its very clear that there has never been a round put through it.

Colt Canada is gonna be releasing a version of the current Canadian Armed Forces C7 and C8 shortly under the Diemaco brand to the public. Basically a heavily modified M16 (C7) and M4 (C8) but they found a way to make it restricted and not prohibited.

Word is 1900 ish for the long barrel 2k for the short barrel. I've used both and imo the short heavy barrel is just as accurate out to 300m.

That's cool. They are amazing rifles. One of my work guns is a blinged out version of this C8:

Unbelievable firearm really.
