Remington ISS system..something to think of

oldelkhunter · 03-11-2004, 02:03 PM

Bought a very nice Mountain Rifle in 7-08 had the trigger adjusted but keep hearing accuracy problems if the ISS is installed on your particular rifle. Supposedly this system makes the trigger pull non consistent, jerky and the firing pin doesn't hit the primer as hard as a normal firing pin assembly. Anyone experience this ? I am unscrewing this POS and buying an aftermarket for it anyway but like Ruger triggers this is another additional expense because a bunch of lawyers want to sue everyone under the sun..

OK, dumb question of the day. What is ISS? Is that the real name of the stupid key lock system on the newer Remington rifles?

popeye you answered your question.
i believe it stands for integrated security system or keylock or klintoon key or...........

i get the feeling remington may be a thing of the past. what a shame![

My 257 is equipped with the ISS, it has never affected accuracy, capable of sub moa groups with just about every bullet weight I have shot out of it. Then again I have never engaged the lock nor do I intend to.

If it affects accuracy or anything else, just buy an after market shroud with out the lock and install it.

My 7-08 shoots great with the ISS installed but you need to see a scrunched up firing pin spring when removing that assembly, and I don't want plastic anywhere on my gun so it has to go. This is real Cheapo. Wyote can't replace that shroud everything has to be replaced firing pin,cocking piece everything. Thankfully at least 3 companies make better then New assemblies for them..Remington just needs to scrap this lawyer loving POS in the future.
