[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 552096, member: 30671"] I'm no engineer, or mechanic, or gunsmith, or garage tinkerer, I am a menace with tools don't alter anything from the factory myself, nor have I fired tens of thousands of rounds. I'm not a legal expert, and can't cite case numbers so perhaps the lawsuits around the issue are internet legend as well. I have seen slam fires, and rifles go off when disengaging the safety on Remington rifles, and only on Remington rifles. My closest circle of trusted hunting partners have had this happen to them as well. I've known gunsmiths that made a pretty good living fixing new Remingtons right before, and during hunting season. These things also stopped happening when quality aftermarket triggers were installed. My first rifle was a 721, it only shot after everything on it was either replaced, or repaired. The only Remington I currently own started life as a 600, and pretty much the same story there, not much left that says Remington on it. At some point I finally asked Why am I doing this? Didn't come up with a good answer, so I don't anymore. Perhaps I'm just statistically unlucky, Ford vs Chevy, I don't know, but my range and field time has been more enjoyable without Remington. Like the song says as for me and grandma we believe. [/QUOTE]
