I didn't see the CNBC piece either but i heard about it. I might be wrong but from what i understood is the guns in question were ADL models and the gun discharged when operating the bolt to empty the magazine.If that's the case why wasn't the gun pointed in a safe direction?
Also i was under the impression that the safety on the gun couldn't be in the" safe" position when the bolt was operated??????? On my 700 the safety can be in the safe position and you can operate the bolt.
Do i have the facts correct or am i wrong? If what i said is true the unfortunately it sounds like operater error / careless gun handling.Didn't Marlin have a simular rap about accidental discharge on the 336 model prior to the introduction of the crossbolt safety?
