[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 434317, member: 5060"] I watched the NRA response with the Remington Executive and quite frankly while he was articulate and a good soldier he did not convince me that there is no problem with the Trigger. To make the blanket unqualified statement that Remington has never received any complaints about the trigger system from Uncle is going to be a problem for them I am afraid. You are going to see very shortly people coming out about this issue---also the sniper systems that Uncle buys are based on the commercial products not a specific envelope drawing or specification if you will (not to say there is not performance specifications they must meet). If every part of a weapons system was controlled by an individual specification then it would drive the cost of each rifle into the stratosphere. Take a look at the RFP’s issued for the bolt action rifle systems and you will see what I am talking about. To make single source awards IAW with FAR part 15 is not going to happen for a rifle period end of story that is why the exemption of being commercial and competitive in some cases is used. Just recently Remington was awarded a single source contract by Uncle to “refurbish” and “upgrade” existing rifles from the OEM. This is another way Uncle can use the FAR to get around conducting a competitive procurement for new hardware. A very prominent Democrat was involved in that one btw. The court system will be the ultimate vindication or condemnation of this issue and only time will tell but it does not look good from my view. [/QUOTE]
