[QUOTE="WacosSon, post: 1344497, member: 14152"] The "problem" exists on modified trigger assemblies. No matter how much faith I have in my firearms, I NEVER point them in a direction that I'm not willing to have lead fly at. You're talking about a machine holding a fast moving, hard hitting projectile that will release at the pull of a tiny piece of metal. NOTHING is fail proof. Remington has been completely honest in saying that IF you do have an issue, they'll help you get it fixed, but there is NOT a major issue with the gun and there is NOT a reoccurring issue with the gun. There are occasional issues that they handle on a case by case basis, mostly with guns that have user-modified triggers. In the you-tube age, anyone can adjust their trigger right out of the box and think that its ok to do so. It's simply not. The cheaper amateur models (like the 770) make it that much easier to do it. Maybe that is Remington's flaw - making it too easy to adjust. But stupidity of users is not their fault. Just because my truck can go to 150mph doesn't mean I should pop off the governer and push it. That's stupid. Also, I don't know how you can watch that documentary (and I did) and NOT see how obviously poor their journalism is. No tough questions are asked of their "witnesses." It was biased to begin with. Their key witness didn't work for the firearm division. The police armorer who said the accidents are called "Remington moments" was never even asked if the guns were modified or stock. No one bothered to ask why the military would sign another contract with a gun so obviously flawed. It was sh*tty journalism and a piss-poor excuse of a documentary. Sorry I get so worked up about it, but at the end of the day, if you're treating your firearm like its ALWAYS supposed to be treated, these issues will NEVER occur. [/QUOTE]
