Did he clean it after taking it out of the box?, meaning scrub the bore, *chamber* and gas system?. I've heard alot of remington semi-auto horror stories over the years, But I've also got personal experience with a few 'chronic jammers' that cleared up with just a good, complete teardown and cleaning.
not that i'm aware of, altho, when i looked at the gun, it was as dry as any unoiled gun I've ever seen...cleaning wouldn't helped IMHO.... the "new" gas system isn't tweaked yet....
