He had a Colt 1911 45 acp and he could not pull the slide back due to the fact it was so dirty…. Those who have a pistol or rifle and never have cleaned it should never own a weapon. I sent mine in and I never got bent out of shape about it accidentally firing.
When you fed a shell into it, there was a possible chance that it would fire without pulling the trigger. Recently Springfield had a recall for the XDS 45 acp pistol that had a problem with it. People who are panicking over this is way beyond anything. But I am looking into a Timney trigger anyway. If it was a hunting rifle, it would already have a new Timney trigger in it by now. I pulled the trigger after each of these tests and only then did the sear unlock and the firing pin do its thing on mine. Gun was unloaded of course, but if the firing mechanism goes off you could hear it and the trigger would have been reset. I have not been able to get it to do anything on its own. I have to a limited degree banged the butt on the ground and did this some more. Because of this I have done all kinds of tests to rack the bolt, put it on safe and take it off and see if it drops the sear and throws the firing pin. It never went off by itself and I never touched the safety. I have always simply dropped one round in the chamber when I was ready to shoot, closed the bolt and shot it. I have never had a problem with my 700 5R Bench rifle, 24 inch bull barrel. As it is now, there is nothing to say that some one doesn’t complain that their rifle accidently discharged with the repaired or replaced trigger from Remington and start this process all over again in the future. This appears to be the most prudent option because if you no longer have a Remington factory trigger, any future recalls won’t be applicable anymore. Remington has produced countless rifles, if they truly produced shit, my brothers would never carry them into the fray. I’ve fought beside tougher men than most will ever meet, none the less ever become.
Should they fail me, I have only failed myself.” He also shot a Remington 700. I command my tool to take a life, but I am the one responsible for my actions. I will be installing a Timney replacement soon as I am re-configuring it anyhow.Īs a Marine scout sniper told me, “I am the weapon, the rifle is my tool. I own a 700 that needs the recall, it has never misfired, if it did, it would be down range and the only issue would be having to shoot something else for the day. Big business is always a balance of cost of liability vs, cost of recall. Check recalls and lawsuits vs, Chevy, ford, dodge, Boeing, Toyota, black and decker.

News is tv, tv is business, and they mean to profit. They have been exposed on the Remington scandal for providing incorrect and misleading information. There’s a whole other issue, getting facts from CNBC. But the point is that this NEVER should have happened AT ALL! At NO time did his finger go near the trigger at all! Fortunately he had the rifle pointed in a safe direction at the time. I was actually watching when he flipped of the safety to unload the rifle as we came back to camp. The individual this happened to had just purchased the rifle from a supposedly reputable dealer who told him that it had already been “checked out”. that I replaced the trigger group in as soon as I acquired it because I have been hearing about the problems with their trigger groups for over 40 years! On top of that if you’d have bothered to read any of my other comments moron, I had the misfortune to actually witness an accidental discharge of a left handed 700 in. Among the various shotguns, handguns, and rifles I own there is one Remington 700 in 7mm Rem. “Liberals”? You’re just making an ASSumption and don’t know the first thing about me.
