Well, in a previous post I vented about my Remington R1 Hunter, 10mm.
The pistol shoots decent groups, after putting $400 to my gunsmith, with a decent trigger pull.
Anyway, I sent the pistol to Remington with the hopes that they would correct the extractor problem.
The problem is that the extractor does not control the fired brass after shooting, and it travels considerable distance from the firing position (20 feet to the rear, and 10+ feet to the right). The problem is that the extractor is too long, and does not retain the brass after firing. There is at least .040-.050" gap between the extractor groove of the brass and the extractor. You can form (bend) the extractor to shorten its length, which I have done. The extractor is just effectively too long. In looking at the slide, it appears that the slot for the firing pin retaining plate is cut wrong, or the extractor is just too long. I have also replaced the extractor with a Wilson extractor, but the same problem occurs.
So I sent it to Remington, with a long letter of explanation of the problems.
Well, I just got it back today. They replaced the extractor, like I did, and the problem still exists.
So I guess I will have to send it down the road, as I am very unhappy with the pistol, and with Remington at Huntsville, AL. I guess they assume that I will drop the problem (WRONG).
