The bulk ammo is good for bolt actions and revolvers but always causes problems in my semi autos. I just ordered a promag 55rd drum for my Marlin because it was only 27 bucks but it should be fun to play around with.
That has been about my experience with Remington Golden. It is junk. It is fairly frustrating to plink with it. The drum worked good. I bet with CCI that much better. Happy 4th to you too sir. I hope you have not put any dents in my Mini-Pig😂👍🇺🇸
Shootin' with Uncle Dan trust me my friend, no new dents! In fact, the pig spends most of its time in the barn now because I’m always working LOL. A very happy Fourth of July sir!
Have you upgraded your extractor, I have a 597 , and got the volquartsen enhanced extractor, haven’t installed it yet but all the videos I have seen of people running and also the comparison between the new extractor and the factory extractor is night and day difference. Give the extractor a try if you haven’t already Edit also recommend you get the M-carbo trigger spring and aluminum bushing kit, and the volquartsen hammer, and it bring the trigger pull down to 1 1/2lbs to 2lb trigger pull.
I ended-up buying a ProMag 70RD drum a couple of weeks ago (I found it online for $64 (+$10 shipping)) because there are no more mags for the 597. The 10RD mags I could find on ebay, amazon and everywhere else were costing $40-$60 which was absolutely ridonculous! I thought that when the 10RD mag that came with the rifle, eventually comes apart, I can still use the rifle for many more years. I've already had my 597 for about 7 years. My advice: if you find any mags for your 597, buy them. If you decide to sell the rifle, you have some added value to it with those additional mags
I would agree with you 100%, and thanks for your comment. It seems a little by little there are less and less available not only for this rifle but for many platforms. They definitely are Increasing in value.
if it jams up the 597 been known to do that because of the exstrator is junk i have the 597 put in a aftermarket extractor and i never had issues from there out
I've had pretty consistent results from the official Rem 30-round mags after lubing up the interior a bit. And the aluminum mag it comes with didn't really function any better than the 30 for me, so I wonder if it's something to do with the ejector or bolt springs
Check the center bolt/nut hole perimeter for cracks! I sent back two for stress cracks in this area and even the third one was cracked! Not impressed with the engineering.
If there’s anything I don’t like about shooting. .22lr it’s that the ammo is pretty much junk …. ALL OF IT !! Expect CCI yes I said it !! I think it’s a shame that there’s so many 22 lovers but only 1 company that’s really putting forth an effort to make good quality ammunition. Invented in the 1880’s well over 100 years ago and right now if you go buy a box /bucket you know for sure your going to have a few dud rounds
You are so right! I actually love 22 LR! I admit that CCI is probably the best that I’ve ever cycled, and the most consistent from round to round in terms of velocity and ballistics. There are a couple of other small companies out there that are good, but hard to find.
@@micro-pigoffroadclub8387 ,Thank you so much for the answer, we do not sell such kits)) alas, it is impossible to find spare parts, the same extractor can't even be bought)))I have such a rifle, I bought it for 500 dollars 4 years ago.Thanks again for the answer, good luck in your business🤝🤝🤝
I'VE HAD 2 SITUATIONS IN MY LIFE WHERE THIS HAPPENED ON MY FIRST SHOT BOTH TIME'S .. NOT SURE WHY IM STILL ALIVE. AND WHY HAVEN'T THESE SHELLS BEEN CHANGED FROM RIM FIRE TO THE NORMAL PRIMER IN THE MIDDLE
I definitely wouldn’t trust a rimfire cartridge with my life. They are not as reliable as a centerfire, no doubt. They are lots of fun and economical when it comes to plinking. I have had the best luck with CCI rounds.
@@micro-pigoffroadclub8387 im doin same set up as u i love it waiting on 70rd to com this week send link to the one u got if u can please and thank you
Okay, thanks. I only have the Remmy mags and they consistently hold open. I haven't found these drum magazines (the other Promag ones, yes) in the UK so far. I guess they aren't much use for most disciplines here, like IPSC or gallery, as they are either low shot count or require reloads.
I've never seen someone have a hang fire and within 3 seconds aim the round at his own face. My god man! .22 or not what are you thinking?!?! or ... not thinking? You should NOT be using firearms!
Another TH-cam warrior that knows everything about everything. I’ve shot thousands of rounds and never had one just decide to magically discharge after it left the firearm.
Kentrell Flynn Even though they are both 22 LR, it will not work in a Glock 44. With little exception, most magazines are specific to the fit of the firearm.
No drum mag for you? Does that mean you cannot purchase one or does that mean you do not want one? They will likely be illegal soon if they are not already.
I definitely need to do more testing with it. It seemed like several of the failures were absolutely related to the ammunition. But a couple of times I did not see strike marks on the rim. I might try some different ammo.

I just upgraded by installing the hammer and extractor. I’m looking forward to testing it.

I have to say I have never watched someone shoot with there middle finger
I don’t normally lol. I chose to for this video because it allows me to pulll much faster for the rapid fire testing. Good catch!
if it jams up the 597 been known to do that because of the exstrator is junk i have the 597 put in a aftermarket extractor and i never had issues from there out
I thought about trying the extractor, but just haven’t gotten around to it yet I assume it’s a Volquardsen? Was it a direct fit?
Only magazine that works in my 597 is the original aluminum one but only 10 shot sucks. I find this gun to like Blazer and Mini Mag ammo the best.

I can see why Remington sold many assets last year. The ammo even went down in quality...
Yes it did! Especially their rimfire ammunition, is junk!
Hello, please tell me how much this remington 597 rifle costs in the USA today
The base rifle is cheap and can be purchased for about $159 US. The body kit is made by archangel and costs about $120 to build it out.

What body kit is that on the Remington 597?! I like that a lot!!!
Pro mag Archangel. About $110.00 online
were can i order a forearm like yours on your 597 ? mine is the original one and i screw on rail on it , but i would prefer changing it
Search ProMag Archangel Remington 597
would this drum magazine fit the MOSSBERG 702?!
Will the drum mag fit a rossi rs22?
Is something wrong with your trigger finger?
No. My middle finger is faster for rapid firing.
Would you know if this mag works with the Rossi Rs22?
It does not. With rare exception, magazines are usually model specific.
Will this fit a savage 64?
is that the remington scope
Yes it is.
@@micro-pigoffroadclub8387 what did u have to do to make it fit on the kit
@@moecashsmith it was as simple as ordering a pair of picatinny scope mounts from eBay. Just need to measure the scope body. Less than $10

No hold open?
Not really sure why, but no. The Remington plastic magazines would hold it open once in a while, but the pro mag does not.
Okay, thanks. I only have the Remmy mags and they consistently hold open. I haven't found these drum magazines (the other Promag ones, yes) in the UK so far. I guess they aren't much use for most disciplines here, like IPSC or gallery, as they are either low shot count or require reloads.

Can This Work For A Glock 44
Kentrell Flynn Even though they are both 22 LR, it will not work in a Glock 44. With little exception, most magazines are specific to the fit of the firearm.
Pro mag sells 18 round glock 44 mags. They aren’t too expensive.
Nope. No drum for me.
No drum mag for you? Does that mean you cannot purchase one or does that mean you do not want one? They will likely be illegal soon if they are not already.
@@micro-pigoffroadclub8387 Not if they fail as much as this one. I can still get it no matter what later.
I definitely need to do more testing with it. It seemed like several of the failures were absolutely related to the ammunition. But a couple of times I did not see strike marks on the rim. I might try some different ammo.
@@micro-pigoffroadclub8387 OK. Meanwhile I'll try the 30 magazine clip.
@@heru-deshet359 Honestly, I had terrible results using the Remington branded 30 round magazine. I did far better with pro mag 25 round.
