Very old news. The shop I work for has already sent all of our Remington 700 and AAC model 7s back to remington, and we have received them all back, fixed.

The shooter supply I go to sent their rifles to Rem just about a week ago. Rem settled a lawsuit and gave money to people that were injured. Don't know the time frame. Do you have any details on the problem? Rem states it has to do with excess bonding agent. I find it hard to believe they are using epoxy. Is it a Locitite type locking agent on threads?

Kinda' like others who've just recently discovered that .22LR is in short supply.

I just got a new Remington action in the box for a build with a trigger on it. Does this recall pertain to any of the triggers on the newest actions being sold?

The ad in this months American Rifleman says " some may have excess bonding agent used in the assembly process"
I've own a model 7 subject to the recall and I'm keeping it rather than to remove my scope and send it back.
The trigger works great as is, and if I see a need to do something to it, I will clean the "excess bonding agent" out myself.

Dtucker, yes the recall pertained to ANY remington 700 with the xmark pro trigger. That includes just actions.

I was in the same boat. They wouldn't accept the trigger by itself. They actually wanted the entire rifle I built with it. I wasn't about to do that, and I wasn't about to send them the action/barrel assembly. So I threw the X-Pro away and installed a Timney. Problem solved ......

Actually everything but the action on most new Remingtons is a "throwaway".

In an attempt to more so discourage our tinkering with adjustments, Remington changed them to a tiny allen hex screw head recessing them deeper inside the housing and then had their people thoroughly cake on the thread locker not only filling up the screw head hex but caked all about the screw bodies as well, but sometimes too much of the stuff got slopped on. So now if a crunchy of it were to break loose then work its way into the worst possible spot so blocking the upper end of the trigger blade, same as any foreign crunchy sized piece filth making its way inside, it can prevent the trigger from fully returning and so parking itself back underneath the sear. Afterwards, if having already pulled the trigger with the safety on, now when you push the safety back off there is gonna be nothing left preventing the piece actually blocking the firing pin from dropping out of the firing pin’s way so the pin flies forward and makes bang, if a round was chambered.

All they are doing is cleaning out all the old thread locker mess, putting the same crappy adjustments back on everybody, and sealing the adjustments back in some kinda thread locker same as before except this time making sure as they goop them up that they use a little bit less.

You’ll can bag up your Remington 700 throwaway actions and etc. and mail it all to me for proper disposal.
