you too with that one? try a new mag and take the bolt hold open off mine started working(some what) after that. i cant sell mine since its was a gift. good luckWorst gun I ever bought was a Remington 597. The gun refuses to feed correctly and is unreliable. I have disassembled it numerous times to clean and lube it, hoping that it just needed to be broke in. Still no luck. I even contacted Remington to get some help and they said there was nothing they could do.
I don't want to sell it, because I would honestly feel bad taking money for it.
A real headache and disappointment. It will be very hard for me to purchase another Remington, especially with the lack of service they provided.
I haven't really had bad experiences with a gun. (knock on wood)
