Why Remington had a recall notice on their entire line of .17 HMR Model 597 Rifles.

Just take a look at the 3 photos below:

Answer :

Blog Administrator -
Yes, this is correct and it's on Remington Rifles and Ammo in the 17 HMR Caliber.
See Youtube Video below.

It addition -
Hornady, an Ammunition Manufacturer has issued a Product Warning Notice, On September 15, 2009, about the USE of 17 HMR Caliber Ammo. There ammo is not on Recall.

All 17 HMR Ammo Manufacturers have issued Warnings NOT to use any ammo in the Remington Model 597 Rifle in 17 HMR Caliber.
Essentially 17 HMR Ammo is not safe to use in Semi-Auto Rifles.

Note: 17 HMR Ammo is a rimfire bottleneck cartridge.

Firearm Forum Question: For Sale, Anti-Jihad Ammo - Fact or Myth

Ask A Firearms Question:
I heard there is Ammo (ammunition) for sale that is especially designed to deter Muslim Jihadist (Terrorist), is this true and where is it sold?
Thank you The Independent Terrorist Hunter.

Jihawg Ammo:
Jihawg Website Logo ....

 Jihawg Ammo ....

 Jihawg T-shirts ....

 Jihawg Shooting Targets ....

Remington ISIL 00 Buck & Bacon Bits 12-Gauge Nitro Magnum Shotgun Shells  ....

Answer:

Blog Administrator -
This is both a Fact and a Myth.
1) Fact - There was a company operating out of Utah selling various caliber ammo called Jihawg. All sales to my knowledge were sold online directly from the ammo maker. Latest rumor the Jihawg site was hacked and they are either out of business as of January 2015, or are temporarily shutdown. I tried to call and email the company, and have had no response. Some online news agencies are reporting Jihawg is out of business for good.
2) Myth - There was one site displaying Remington ISIL 00 Buck & Bacon Bits 12-Gauge Nitro Magnum Shotgun Shells. I personally called Remington Ammunition on the morning of Friday, January 16, 2015, and Remington said this is a hoax and is totally bogus. It is an altered pictured posted on the Internet of Remington's Nitro Shotgun Shells.

Finally, never forget the homemade Ammo from reloaders ...

=> I hope this clarifies your question. I am always interested in specialized ammo. If anyone hears of this ammunition coming back on the market please contact me and I will update this site posted topic for my readers.

Firearm Forum Question: Zombie Killing Ammo and Targets

Ask A Firearms Question:
Is it true you can actually buy Zombie Killing Ammo and Targets for Practice Shooting?
Thank you Parker James.

Zombie Ammo from Hornady ....

Zombie Blasters (Shotgun Ammo) from Lightfield ....

Answer:

Blog Administrator -
Yes, both Ammo and Targets are being marketed and sold.

Hollywood has created a vast following of viewers into Zombies. There have been lots of movies and TV shows about Zombies a.k.a. the Walking Dead.

As a result of this following some ammo manufacturers have capitalized on this as a product shown above.

Several suppliers have Zombie Targets, Types, and Size for people to practice there shooting skills at. They offer several types at my Indoor Gun Range.

YES, everyone there are more AMMO recalls and from various manufactures.
When are these idiots gonna get some quality control before someone gets killed?

Important Notice about Recalls: There is NO expiration Date on any Recall.
Many people stock up on Ammo and store it. Some people have ammo dating more than 20-years from Manufactured Date.

Make sure you check the Item and/or Lot Numbers on any ammo before using it.
The use of RECALLED Ammo can result in death or injury, and a damaged firearm.
