Todays lawyers and courts just LOVE the publicity they get when they take on ANYTHING gun related, especially one of the "BIGS" like Rem. Rem is owned by a Wall St firm so it's suits and lawyers caving into more suits and lawyers!

Nearly 8M units produced and we're talking about a comparatively small handful of supposed "defective accidents"? Again I say, BS! 8M units, over a half a century???
Would be interesting to know if this would've happend had DuPont still owned "big green"?

The triggers in my 4 Rem boltguns (from 70s-00s vintage) will NOT be going back ANYWHERE except into my safe until the next time they are brought out for a hunt!
Terrible,
ps
And NO I'm NOT a "Green flag wavin Remophile"! I cuss Rem and the things they've done to their lineup and dealers since DuPont sold them many moons ago. Their baseline guns, across the board, are TERRIBLE today. But I hate to see one of the BIGS being treated like this by those on BOTH sides of this argument. In the end it's always the money, gatdam, stinkin money...
Well, you got one thing right in that post and that is that money is the root of all evil. That is about all though and if you don't do anything about the defect in your rifles then you'll be the one that has to live with it if you're the next one to have one go bang when it's not supposed to! DuPont should have taken care of this problem when it was brought to their attention decades ago and they flubbed it royally right up until they sold out and the new owners have kept right on with the same BS! There have been over two dozen people killed, unknown injuries sustained, and many thousands of rifles that have misfired and by the grace of God did not result in any harm other than some shook up owners. Overall the numbers to you may be small in comparison to the millions of rifles out there, but a defect in one firearm is one too many!
