There are many out there saying the same thing you are, but it is only partially true. We're talking a one-of-a-kind trigger with that free riding "fire control"connector that takes very little to cause it to not fall back into place and it doesn't take tinkering around with the pull weight because it's not part of that mechanism. Mike Walker found out that the connector increased the chance of a misfire over and above a normal trigger shortly after he invented it, told the Remington bosses it needed to be changed, and they wouldn't do it for the minor cost of 5 1/2 cents per rifle! That is all in official court documents that were taken from Remington files. If the inventor says it is prone to misfires and needs changing, why should you or anyone else dispute it and make all kinds of excuses like Remington has done over the years when they keep going off?!
