[QUOTE="shuag, post: 950069, member: 68921"] Suffice it to say the gun I have is directly affected by the Remington 700 Recall. [url=http://xmprecall.remington.com/]Remington Recall[/url] Here's what is going on for me: So I purchased a Remington 700 and put a ton of money in it. My build is here: [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f17/my-way-give-back-forum-119116/[/url] I used this forum heavily for the build. However I don't post much - only when I know I need help. Suffice it to say that I have NO desire to send this gun through the postal service. Wife says that I am not allowed to shoot the gun and I agree. BUT, she did say that I can go get a new trigger and just ditch the old one. My questions are: 1. Will installing a new trigger get rid of the recall issue???? Remington is very elusive about what the real problem is. All I could find is that the issue involves some sort of bonding issue on the firing mechanism/trigger somewhere. Can anyone else shed some light on this? 2. What triggers are recommended? I've heard Timney and Jewel. Others that are good? I am looking for first hand accounts if available. 3. Does anyone recommend replacing the trigger yourself? I've watched some videos and this seems easy enough but I just don't want to do this if it can be an error prone process. My background is a bachelors and masters in Mechanical Engineering so I am a hands on kind of guy. I apologize ahead of time if this has been posted somewhere else in the forum. I am just frustrated with Remington right now. But happy that I get to increase the accuracy of my gun build. [/QUOTE]
