[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1646092, member: 12995"] Most of that legal trouble was proven to be negligence on part of the gun owner, but it was easier (more profitable) for them to sue Remington than it was to take responsibility for negligently handling a firearm that caused the death of a friend of family member. Most of them even admitted later (after they got their settlement, of course :rolleyes:) to messing with the trigger or had some jackleg try to go a shade tree "trigger job" on the rifle. Don't take what you hear as face-value. Remember to believe none of what you hear, and only half of what you actually see. This world is full of half-truths and outright lies to push agendas. And yes, I've seen lots of guns have AD's and ND's. I've even had an AD happen when a primer was sticking out a bit too far, and I released the bolt into battery (full spring tension) on one of my AR's, and the bolt face impact set it off. Ever since then, I ease the bolt home on a loaded round, unless using factory ammo. My point is, anything can fail, and weird crap can (and will) happen when you least expect it, no matter how careful you are. If you read my post, I strongly recommended having a professional do the trigger job. I never recommend anyone attempt trigger work unless they have been properly trained how to do so by a professional gunsmith. And even then, it's at their own risk. [/QUOTE]
