Hastings manufactures many interchangable replacement
barrels for pump and automatic guns. The original manufacturer's design for some barrels require thin walls to achieve
light weight and balance. We believe the design of the above Remington Solid Sabot Ammunition causes some of the thin-walled
barrels to bend.
We do not recommend the use of the pre-1999 ammunition
in any Hastings product. Hastings will not be responsible for any damage incurred while using this ammunition. If you are
in doubt about the age of identity of your ammunition, stop and seek professional advice before proceeding to use any Remington
Copper Solid Ammunition in your Hastings shotgun barrel. Although the damage reported to date is bending of the barrel, this
is no assurance that even more serious damage or injury could not occur. For this reason, you should know that you are assuming
any such risks if you use the pre-1999 ammunition in Hastings barrels.
