 We were target shooting yesterday and a buddy brought his rem .17 he won at a raffle. He has shot it a bunch of times befor and yesterday we shot a couple rounds through it and the clip came shooting out the bottom hitting the shooting table shattering into a million pieces, even the bolt  action was wrecked and sent pieces flying.  Same ammo we always used that came with the gun and also brand as gun. Anybody else have problems like this?  Just glad that now body got hit by flying pieces.

I guess after looking under remington  17  there is a recall.
On the gun and ammo

So called remington on the gun blowing apart and they offer to buy the gun and ammo back or send a new .17 marlin gun  or 250  cash, so getting new gun. When asked why they never sent out a recall, yes gun is registered, they avoided the question repeatdidly,saying this is what we can do for you sir.And does remington own marlin???  or why are they sending out new marlin guns???

I have a Savage 17 and always shoot Hornaday ammo and have never had a problem.

Same here except sometimes the neck splits vertically on the brass.

  • work fasinates me I love to watch it be done
Mine did the same thing. remington at the time gave me the option of the same 250 dollar rebate or take the gun back and rebarrel as a .22 mag. I chose the new barrel. Up to that point I had never had a problem. To this day i do not beleive it is a reminton problem I could bo into it further but both remington and ruger quit making them in semi auto.
