You can call it a red, red rose if you want. It won't make the problem go away.

As I said in the original post, Bubba-ing and trigger mishandling are just as possible on other rifles as on Walker triggered Remingtons. And yet reports of unintended discharges are far more common on Remingtons than any other rifle I can think of.

Why do you think that is?

But you just did, two sentences ago. ????

For the third time, I said, right from the first post, it's difficult for debris to get into the trigger. But it's still possible, and if it does, there's nowhere for it to go and only the weak trigger spring to push it out. Other rifles have much more pressure on the sear/trigger interface and room for the debris to get pushed out of the way.

It's a question of whether you examine the evidence and come to a conclusion or decide what you want the conclusion to be and bend the evidence to fit.
