Remington 597 Recall

Mkoutler · Jul 6, 2023

My name is Mark Outler and I am new to the forum. I own a Pawn Shop and Gun Store in NW Metro Atlanta, GA.

I recently purchased a Remngton 597, 17 HMR, and found out about the recall from several years ago.

After contacting Remington, they were quick to let me know, they were not responsible for honoring the recall. They said they purchased the assets of Remington Outdoors and would not be honoring the previous recalls. What a disappointment.

Any suggestions what to do now?

A) Very interesting info.

B) No wonder why so many companies sell/merge/hostile take over these days. Assume the profits but none of the liability, sign me up!

Hi Mark welcome to Rimfire Central!

I may get hooted down on this but if it were mine I'd take it out in the shop and cut it into little pieces on a bandsaw and scrap it rather than taking a chance on hurting myself or someone else.

Lots of reading here including comments by an original Remington factory man.

I'm going to move this over to our Remington 597 forum hoping you'll get more answers.

Sorry for your troubles!

Yuo might look for a used 22mag barrel and convert it to that. only the 17 hmr ones were recalled.

Sounds good. Thanks

I bought a 597 in 17 HMR today. I plan on getting another Jarvis 597 barrel in 22 wmr when they make the next run of barrels. I put my name on the notification list. BTW I purchased 2 of the 22LR barrels and have 1 installed and planning on doing the second soon. My suggestion would be to rebarrel in 22 WMR with a Jarvis barrel.

Ditto the 22Mag barrel conversion others have recommended. It's a simple swap and only the Mag barrel is needed.

If you go the the Remington Ammunition website, there is a link at the top of the page for Remington parts. The parts outfit appears to have acquired the spare parts from the old Remington firearms company. They do list 22 WMR barrels. I've not ordered any parts from them, the last time I checked the shipping charges were high....

I ordered a few things from the parts website 2 days ago, in awaiting fulfillment status. I did see that they have 2 magnum barrels listEd, a carbon steel and a custom target SS barrel. Pretty reasonable prices. Shipping on my order was $21 via UPS which I can live with it if I get my parts.

Does anyone know if it was case ruptures in the rim or was they out of battery Kabooms that caused the recall? I'd like to have mine myself.

In some cases it was hot ammo with guys getting chrono readings over 2700fps. In others it was out of spec barrels, dirty barrels, or various combinations of all 3, while others have remained unknown.

This wasn’t a Remington only issue, Ruger and others recalled all the 17hmr semi autos, I have one I converted to a 22mag from Jarvis and she’s a beaut. there is a link below to the parts shop that has all the old inventory. They sell on gunbroker as well.
