Yeah, I suppose you are right, it could misfire. But it does stand to reason that there isnt much to go wrong. I think the only reason I would consider one of these is due to remington sponsoring and warrantying them. I got rid of the 270 to get the 30-06, which I wouldnt trade but I would still like to have a 270 in a single. Money doesnt allow for several nice rifles. What about those brazetech things wal mart shows on thier website? EJ
