I have a Remington 597 .22 LR and want to know if anybody has tried the Volquartsen replacement hammer for this model? Midway has them for $35.99 which looks like a good deal. I read it can reduce trigger pull by 50%. Does it work as advertised? If you have any experience with the modified hammer any info would be appreciated.

Re: Remington 597 replacement hammer
I put one on my 597 22 magnum about two months ago and it works great. The gun still jams more than any rimfire ive ever owned but the hammer really smoothed out the trigger pull.

Are you using the new magazines? http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=86768
My old ones jammed a lot, but the new ones work much better.

Re: Remington 597 replacement hammer
I'm interested in this hammer as well; the only problem is that I live in Canada and can't seem to find a supplier to ship it here. Any help? I just recently got a Remington 597 in .22 LR, have put about 350 rounds through it and had one not fire. Not mis-feed, it just didn't fire (The firing pin left a beautiful dent in the case). I'm not sure what is wrong with everybody else's guns, or what's right with mine. I take the gun apart after every shooting session, clean the bore, bolt and receiver with Outers solvent, and coat it somewhat liberally with Outers oil right after, (I realize some people disagree with using an oil, but rather use a dry lube on this action, it seems to work though), put it together, ensuring the set screws that retain the guide rods are once tightened, then backed off and then snugged. There's no need for them to be very tight, as there is no pressure on them and the screws can't come out of the back because of the stock. I'm shooting Federal Champion Copper plated hollow points in the 525 bricks, and not only do they group very well, they feed flawlessly.
