[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1991882, member: 93895"] If anyone really knows much about or has worked on a walker trigger, they know that taking that trigger in factory form much below 3lbs is dangerous because the adjustment screw may back completely off of the pull weight spring. What ever pull weight there is left after that ( usually under 3lbs or less) is not pull weight due to the springs tension but strictly due to friction of the sear surfaces. So that situation leaves no spring tension to reset the trigger Sears in place upon recocking the firing pin. That's when the firing pin can fall when ejecting a live round. The most notable & leading lawsuit against Remington's walker trigger accidentally going off was a factory trigger that had been adjusted too low by a gunsmith. And if you do much research, most of the triggers tied to lawsuits had been tinkered with. CSNBC put their normal twist on stories and painted up Remington as an evil vilan corporation who was putting out factory triggers that they knew were dangerous and laughing about it the whole time as they raked in the profit. Yes, the triggers were dangerous after someone who didn't know what they were doing jacked around with them. [/QUOTE]
