RF just forwarded this photo he took in the stock room of Sportsman’s Finest, his LGS in Austin. Those are the store’s recalled Remington Sevens and 700s, waiting to be FedEx’d to Big Green for repair. That’s one relatively small retailer. Can you imagine what the back room of your average Dick’s Sporting Goods looks like? Or an Academy? Gander Mountain? Then multiply that across the country and let the dollar figure that this will cost the Freedom Group boggle your mind.

Is freedom group paying for the shipping also?
Stevens shows a large degree of ignorance about both guns and the Second Amendment.
When a large capital management firm thinks that they know how to increase revenue on a product, corners will be cut. When corners are cut, quality drops. When quality drops, this $hit happens.
They deserve this. Not the poor owners though. My heart goes out to everyone with one less gun in the safe.
Benefit of the doubt. I’d really be adrift if TTAG somehow lost its credibility. I trust the souls who inhabit this place to keep them honest, though. The self-policing is really quite remarkable around here. Keeps things balanced in the way similar blogs can’t achieve.
F**k ’em. This “cost” will impact sale price which will impact Freedom Group, which will impact Cerebus, which will impact Calpers. Let the retired commie california teachers suck it. And for the record, my aunt is covered by calpers. But she knows her leadership sucks.
Damn, there goes some of my wife’s investments.
Suspect shot and killed
My Response: Good!
They will be using the ammo to review GUNS.
They are not reviewing the ammo.
What is the big deal here you fkng neg heads.
Seems to me that they will be able to afford to review more GUNS, something wrong with that?
If they use the same brand ammo for all of the reviews, it will eliminate a potential variable that could give one gun an advantage because the reviewer had to use what ever he could find. Would it be fair to use white box for one test, Tula for another and hornady in another. There is always somebody that doesn’t like something and just has to bitch about it. Me too and my bitch is these people.
STFU!
The more ‘partnerships’ you’re in the less your reviews mean
I realize that a lot of you have no concept of what a cow calf pair takes to graze on land. Bundy has been running approximately 900 cow calf pairs on 250 square miles of desert. What started this in the beginning, was the BLM in the early 90’s approximately about the time of Clinton and Janet Reno, declaring that he could only run 150 pair on 250 square miles, that would not have penciled out. Considering that the man’s family had been there since the 1870’s, well in advance of the BLM, I am presuming that he thought of that land as his family’s to begin with. So he told them to F off. Can’t say I blame him. That would be brutal land to raise cattle on. I think that the BLM figured they would pull one of Janet Reno’s tricks out of their bag, because he has been a pain in their butt for decades. I think that the BLM backing down now could probably be because of this deal reported today, about Harry Reid and the Chinese wanting the same land for a big solar electrical generation facility. They have been using the excuse that this is sensitive land for the desert tortoise but I don’t buy that crap. I feel sorry for a lot of these guys ordered in to this deal, some will eat it with a spoon, but from what I hear a lot of the out-of-state LEs were not real happy to be there. They are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Meanwhile trying to round up cattle using a helicopter is just stupid, especially with young calves. Probably the idiots higher up in the Department of the Interior ordered this fiasco up. I think they will sneak back in after the news vans leave and burn the Bundys out.
Once again, Gov. Walker and WI lead the nation in the fight against the anti-gun coalition…
The “Planning Commission” AND the entire City Council get to have an opinion and get to dictate the operations of a lawful private business? Sounds like Ct or Md or NY. But OK??? Build it in free America.
It’s all I can do is puke! F_ _ _ _ _ _ commies, marxist bastards. Sorry about ranting on and on, but shit dudes we’re surrounded! Watch your backs out there and be ready to run or shoot. Run is better if ya can.
That’s great, I always shoot first, then put up my weapons, sit back and have a cold beer, sounds good to me. Is anybody taping this!
Bundy’s a thief. And he’s played the idiots in the “Militia” movement like a violin.
The thief needs to pay his bills or get off the land. Everything about this has been a fraud.
I have owned 2 EMP 40’s. The first fed fine but on the last round fired, the slide would not stay back. (Inherent issue straight from the factory) Needless to say I was upset but not so ready to send it back. After a little investigating I discovered the problem. There is a double sided barrel spring that sits horizontally just above the left grip. One side puts pressure on the safety lever, and the other is for the slide release catch. When the mag is empty, is pushes up on the catch but if the spring pressure is not strong enough, it will fall back down. (actually more of a bounce back down due to the recoil of the gun). Since I have a little Machinist experience, I disassembled the gun and discovered that the side of the spring that gives pressure to the slide stop was not drilled deep enough. In other words it was not protruding enough to give good solid pressure to the slide stop. It was a tedious procedure and one that you could screw up royal if you are not careful. It only needed to be .0002″ deeper. Anyway, it worked. I put several hundred rounds through this gun without another malfunction.
I would like share some other thoughts in addition to some previous comments. I have learned through the years that if you are having trouble with an automatic, then you need to find the ammo that it likes. That being said, the EMP ate every kind I put through it. I love the heft of the gun because it absorbs some of the recoil from the hot .40. It feels more comfortable in my hand, I feel more confident, and it is extremely accurate. That’s a trade off for the high capacity’s that you have to make the choice over. I have had Glocks too, but it’s just that 1911 feel that the EMP empowers.
My second EMP .40 seems to be fine but I have not put that many rounds through it yet. As usual, very accurate. 3 inch group at 10 yards.
I’ve been to high dollar gun clubs which had restaurant/bars in the clubhouses.
No more problem than a state having concealed carry permits and taverns in it.
I served on the local zoning board for fifteen years and dealt with the inherent problem of a housing development encroaching on a long-established gun range. Thankfully, justice has prevailed in this instance, so far. There are still some neighbors doing all they can to irritate the private club that owns the range, along with the local government and law enforcement personnel.
What concerns me more than zoning laws is the possibility of the EPA causing problems over lead in the ground. You don’t need to look too far to find an “environmental issue” being used as an excuse to encroach on property rights.
I work for one of those major retail shops. We have close to a pallet going back. I refused to believe it till the official e-mail made it’s way to my inbox at work.
I hope this in combination with that disaster of a pistol they released doesn’t end them 🙁
