I see recalls on some of the newer Remington triggers plus the Jewell's are reported to produce a miss-fire situation, too. Have a Timney in my Mauser - Its a good trigger.
For me, I'll never rely on a mechanical safety - I'll put my trust in safe gun handling.
If I were to pass these rifles on to family, I'll replace with a Timney like top says.
I understand why you say what you are, but that's the whole problem in that misfires can't be replicated even in ones that have had a misfire, which is scary and leads people to your way of thinking. Any gun will misfire like you mentioned if they are tinkered with by someone that doesn't know what they're doing. Never rely on the safety like you mentioned, but what appears to be safe gun handling can still lead to problems with these Walker triggers and I'm glad if you pass yours on that the triggers will be replaced. Incidentally, not many factory guns will shoot like your pictures even with a trigger job. Did you do anything else (bedding, etc.) to get that kind of accuracy?
