If you did any people searching on the internet at all like I did you would know that Walker is older than dirt now and worked as a Remington engineer way back decades ago when he designed the trigger for those rifles in the late 40s and patented it in 1950. Remington stayed with them and then carried them over into the 700series when it was introduced. You guys are trying to poke holes in things without doing any investigative work and making yourselves look like jackasses in this discussion! Too bad you're not on a witness stand somewhere where an attorney would cut you to pieces when you make stupid statements like that! This was already covered earlier in this thread when it was brought up in that post you just reposted! Walker retired from Remington many moons ago in case you haven't looked any of this up and it appears you haven't! This is right off the internet just by googling "Mike Walker":
Inventor Mike Walker
The Remington trigger, which critics say is the cause of inadvertent firings, was designed in the 1940's by a young engineer named Mike Walker. Now retired and in his late 90’s...

Here is another little snippet of information taken from an article on the internet:
Walker himself advocated a mechanism that would have held the trigger and connector in place while the safety was on, but internal company documents show Remington rejected Walker’s “trigger block” because of the cost—estimated in 1948 to be an additional 5 ½ cents per gun.
In a statement to CNBC, Remington says the 700 “has been free of defects since it was first produced.” But in 2007, Remington introduced a new firing mechanism for the 700 that includes the feature Mike Walker had proposed nearly 60 years earlier. The new trigger system, marketed as the “X-Mark Pro,” also eliminates Walker’s trigger connector. A source close to Remington tells CNBC the connector was removed because it had become the focus of so many lawsuits.

***One last thing and I'm done with this thread because there's nothing more to say. His given name is Merle. His birthday is May 5 and if he hasn't died since I looked all this stuff up a couple years ago I believe he'll be 100 in a few weeks. In trying to find out if he's still alive, I ran into this short video interview on the internet that he apparently did during the time NBC was putting their story together and it pretty wells sums up this whole thing. This is the first video I've watched regarding the subject and I don't think I need to watch anything else because it pretty much covers the entire matter:
