Continue reading because I am going to mention these Versamax problems and their solution in the following paragraphs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Features & Specifications of Remington Versa Max:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Versa Max Sportsman barrel is drilled wrong. Further, the Choke’s shape is oval rather than circular. Heavy scuffing\/scratching\/machine markings and “rings” can be seen in the barrel. Many holes in the barrel and where wet shells enter the rifle can be seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A closer inspection of the barrel reveals that, under certain lighting conditions, it almost appears as though the front of the barrel is curved downwards and to the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Send your firearm to Remington, and they will replace the barrel. They may require four to eight weeks for repairs. You can take your firearm to a local gunsmith for quick repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Versamax suffers from misfeeding. The bolt locks the rear, and instead of sitting on the lifter, the shells crash against it. This is due to the fact that the spring that was originally used to hold the lifter down has become less effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another Versamax malfunction which is shells getting caught on the right side of the chamber, or failures to feed. This is almost always caused by using a welded\/extended lifter and not modifying other parts of the shotgun to accommodate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Try changing the spring and see if that helps. Extra-powerful RC IX springs are highly recommended. The spring tension should be checked regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For failure to feed issue, make sure you use correct using techniques. Smoothing off the cutout for the extractor is a good idea that should help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The excellent Remington Versa Max has a somewhat heavy trigger for a shotgun, breaking at 7 pounds, 7 ounces. Many traditional trigger jobs on the Versa Max fail because of the poor design of its trigger; the shape of the trigger requires the user to compress the hammer spring as they pull the trigger. the hammer keeps dropping when you pull the trigger, might have a broken firing pin<\/p>\n\n\n\n By having a gunsmith smooth out the trigger and sharpen the trigger’s feel, you can reduce the break weight from 5 pounds to 4 3\/4 pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should try thoroughly cleaning the trigger. Sometimes the oil in it will gum up really badly around the base of the hammer plunger, slowing it down just enough so that the hammer doesn’t hit the primer hard enough. Reduce the amount of oil in the trigger’s trigger mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A common problem with the Versamax is that it won’t cycle consistently and has trouble ejecting shells. You may need to rack the slide in order to eject it and allow it to another chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Possible causes include peeling or a buildup of carbon. The weld around the piston housing could have failed. The design of the shell release may be a problem itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check that the gun’s gas system is unclogged and well-oiled. Clean the internal components of the gas piston by disassembling it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take your shell release out and file it out at 30-degree angle to solve the shell ejecting issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly, call Remington Customer Service and send it back to them under warranty if nothing works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Versamax suffers from a random misfiring problem. The primer will be dented by the firing pin, but it will not actually go off. It is possible to reload the same shell and have it function properly. This occurs with a wide range of shell types and manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s possible that the hammer is broken or that the firing pin is too short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fix the hammer and faulty firing pin. In terms of loading, you can experiment and see if that makes a difference. You should take that part to a gunsmith to see if they can fix it. Talk to Remington and find out if the exchange is possible or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While shooting, the Versamax bolt locks back. Sometimes the bolt isn’t entirely engaged, and the second shell won’t feed after the first. The slightest touch on the handle closes the bolt when manually cycling the rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Disassemble the gun and clean all metal parts with kerosene or mineral spirits. Lightly lubricate metal parts with Breakfree CLP. Twirl a drill bit in the gas ports to open them. Heavy loads should be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can contact Remington and received replacement bolt assembly from Remington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most popular shotguns now is the Versa Max. Some users have trouble with it while others adore it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One user even claimed that it is trustworthy<\/a> while using inexpensive target loads. The gas action and the substantial weight make for very gentle shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another reviewer mentioned that while the Versa Max’s design is excellent<\/a>, they had issues with the product’s quality due to issues with Remington’s quality control and inspection processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A number of Versamax users have reported experiencing problems. failure to feed, problems with the barrel, bolts locking, failure to fire etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
