Yes Jerry, and you should be able to google his interview and watch it. He supposedly lost his Remington pension for violating a court order for speaking out about it, but I can't confirm that. Some will never admit that the design increases the chance of a misfire even after watching the inventor discuss it though! The post I C/Pd a few minutes ago is very revealing and I hope you read it because that dispels the theory that it only causes problems if someone tinkers with it or doesn't keep it clean when that one was brand new, had never been fired, and records showed that it had even been back to the factory for the other recall and was still defective. If people do what RR mentioned in his previous post I wouldn't argue at all that it would be their fault. I also have a percussion 50 caliber rifle that I just took out this evening during our 3 week ML deer season and it has a double set trigger. It's the only rifle in my safes that is used to hunt with that has a very low pull weight. I have it set at less than 6 ozs. because it's always at half cock and isn't ever brought to full cock until it's up and pointing at a target or deer. I also keep my finger out of the trigger guard and take my glove off before I plan to shoot it because of that low setting. One of these days now that I'm getting older I'll probably set it up to about 3 pounds like all my centerfire rifles are set at, but if I make a mistake with it that would certainly be my fault and not the manufacturer.
