I just watched a CNBC report on the Remington 700 series, that shows it firing without pulling the trigger. The report shows, they new about the problem as early as 1946.
CNBC interviewed Mike Walker, now 98 years old and the inventor of the 700.
He had warned them of the problem and wanted to change the trigger design in 1948, at a cost of 5 cent per gun. They rejected the change.
Remington admitted in papers, that 1% could be tricked too fire, without pulling the trigger.
Laura Waton a CS representative, testified just last year, that this can happen.
It is estimated the cost of a recall will cost 300,000,000 now, more than the company is worth. The recall would have to be voluntary.
Remington has lost and settled several lawsuits, in deaths and injuries regarding this problem.
I just bought a 870P, but my next rifle will not be a Remington 700.
