BTW lost in the mix is the fact that the first Remington trigger recall was the models 600 and 660, due to some kid had one loaded in a vehicle, and shot his friend, the triggers are the same as the 700's, this recall was in 1979, 17 years after the 700 came out
I have one of those also with the original walker trigger and its never went off either

I've already shared my research results on this thread and numerous other times regarding this Walker trigger issue. I believe we discussed this earlier in the thread, but if not, the word "recall" involving the court settlement that led to this thread being started by myself is now not actually being classified as a recall the way Remington ended up settling it. It is now strictly being called a court settlement and it allows anyone that wants to join the settlement to do so on their own IF they find out about it and IF they contact Remington on their own to see IF they have one of the rifles that the company will even cover. That was a very slick and relatively cheap way for Remington to get out of what would have probably been a total forced recall years ago if there was a government agency overseeing gun manufacturers like most other products that can kill or maim someone. However, there's not and this debacle has gone on for decades. You again also keep bringing up the present recall of the newer XMP trigger and I have addressed that numerous times, yet you keep trying to throw that out there as if I don't know the difference! This thread doesn't have anything to do with the XMP trigger recall other than Remington stated they planned on using that trigger assembly to replace any Walkers that are done under that settlement. I have not kept any data or files on this over the years and don't plan to start again doing something that anyone else can do if they have the time. People can argue this forever and unless Remington actually comes out in black and white and states they acknowledge a defect and are issuing a recall it will continue, so there is no need to continue this discussion when nothing will satisfy ones that think there is no problem even though there have been many thousands of people that have had them go off. That number may be in the upper 5, if not 6, digits as long as this problem has been going on. It's really amazing and probably a miracle that there hasn't been a lot more injuries and deaths with as many misfires that have occurred over the last few decades. Every thread I've ever read on this subject has people coming out of the woodwork saying the same thing has happened to them, they never touched the trigger or had any adjustments done, and they didn't know there was a problem because of the way Remington has tried to keep it quiet in their court settlements. Now just because the issue was brought out to the public by the major media in a TV show, which I incidentally have never watched, the media is being cast as the villain instead of the company that continued to manufacture a suspect product. I'm done with this as I really don't want to get banned and that's all that would happen if people keep pushing the issue and I've said as much as I can on it anyway!
