Hello guys I bought a new Remington v3 and got to shoot it. I noticed that it has some gas blow back that feels like your getting hit in the face with a small amount of sand. I was wondering if anyone experienced this? I called Remington and they were very nice and said they will fix it. I bought the gun new but was advised that it was manufactured in 2017. I love the gun by the way and it shoots great.
Sounds like the forarm isn't seating against the receiver properly. You might check and see if there is any excessive gap in that area. Maybe as simple as the barrel nut needs a extra click. Or they may not have gotten the interior of the forarm molded or machined just exactly right and needs to be cleaned up a little bit.

It`s a VERY well known issue, tons of info on it on Shotgunworld. Briefly, appears to happen with some ( not all, by any means ) shooters and their synthetic V3`s . It has to do with the vented gas block. Contact Remington. Their customer service department is very good and has been handling this as a warranty issue and will make it right and have been doing so in an expeditious manner. Newer production synthetics have the unvented block and began shipping those about a year ago. Sounds like you got an "older" one. Not to worry. The V3 is a great gun. I have the walnut variant.
I coach the 4h sporting clay team and few have them. EVERYONE complains about that problem. One put his down and would not shoot it. Never looked at them to see why they did it.

Easy fix from Remington.
