alright guys i got some pictures up on my 597 and the reason i have the pictures up is that the paint is coming off the gun already in some areas go check it out and say what i should do here but if you cant say it here say it there.

You have only had this a few days. I would either return it or call Remington ASAP. This should not be happening.

two things what do you mean by return it i thought all firearm purchases are finale and the place that i bought it from said that they would send it back to them for free but when you mean return it do you mean i could go back tto the store and get a different 597?

Have them send it back to Remington. I doubt they would give you a different one.

ok thanks guys i will do what jm said about calling and if they dont do anything then ill bring it back to fleet farm and they can return it also how much does have to be off because theres not THAT much off but it does upsett me and i put up the pictuers and also i think more pain would easily come off also has this happened to any of you withh remington fire arms. thanks

After just a few days no paint should of come of at all...no I have never had paint come off a Remington firearm (my Remington pistol has wear on the paint, but thats due to long term wear).

Any update on whats going on Blake?

[blake g]

well i havent asked my dad to bring it back yet because hes had so much work fixing stuff that its not right to ask but i might soon. also is it worth returnining the gun with the paint cominig off not much but a little and works very well then risking getting a better one with a new paint job but doesnt work well or even if they give me the one i have is it worth risking them giving it a new paint job and it sucks or getting a new paint job but they have done crap to the internals and make it suck( i have herd way to many of those stories.)and very in acurrate or move were your sights were set up.

Personally I would not worry about it. I would just keep the rifle clean/dry. May not be the prettiest, but the way it functions is all that matters(If you are worried you could put waterproof tape on the barrel - many companies make some great waterproof camo tape now).
