[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 6214, member: 12"] [b]Re: \'Tis a crock of excrement and it stinketh..[/b] Jake I am not taking sides on anything here, but I will provide a little info that might be relavent on the trigger. I have personally seen that happen on one of my guns before and traced it back to dirt stopping the sear from releasing the firing pin and when open the bolt, pressure is off and it releases. Our club also, about 5 yrs ago had a competitor do the same and on opening of the bolt it fired in an unlocked position and put the bolt thru his shoulder. Bottom line might not have been nothing wrong with the trigger when it was sold. Second most important point if anyone using a match gun with a lightened trigger has an occurence of the gun not firing on pulling the trigger you had better look at the back of the bolt on Rem in particular and see if the back of firing pin shroud has moved minutely. If it has, then tie a rope to the bolt handle and pull it open from the side and make sure no one is behind the gun. If you ASSume that it is OK to open the bolt you might get a rude awakening and not get off lucky with just being scared. BH [/QUOTE]
