If you do a search here on 700 triggers, the Walker trigger, whatever, you can likely find details of the cases involved and much more than you want to read.
But a couple points; there was never a recall, several changes were made over time including using beefier trigger weight springs, the trigger change was not related to any civil action or defect in the Walker trigger, the primary case cited was a MT woman that shot her son on the other side of a horse trailer with a rifle that could not be made to fail again.
The most dangerous aspect of that trigger was the Bubba that got inside it...
art Sitka deer � There is indeed a lot of info available, and I�ve read a bunch of it. Interesting stuff, and much of what is available paints Remington as a company whose interest was more in corporate profits than in the safety of their consumers. �Recall� may not be the technically correct term, but it was widely described as such in many places. Remington calls it a �Safety Modification Program�. ( http://www.remington.com/safety/safety_center/safety_modification_program/model_700.asp)

amazing a subject as stupid as this, can make 118 pages and still counting.. Considering the ramifications - the possibility of people being saved from injury or much worse as a result of this thread - I for one hardly think this is a "stupid subject". In act, I would rank the subject matter as one of the more important ones being discussed anywhere on this web site. LMAO! Even more important than BBQ?

"Remington finally changed their trigger design a while back due to a M700 design flaw that was known since the 60�s."
This line is where I disagree with you. You are confusing Walker trigger issues with the bolt-locking safety. Those are two entirely different issues and relate to the bolt stop only which is not a trigger part.
From the link speaking about what they might find and bill you extra for: "Your rifle�s trigger assembly is found to be in an unsatisfactory or potentially unsafe operating condition because of any number of factors, including wear, alteration or maintenance."
I find it funny they would find maintenence a subject for creating safety issues.... Actually the bastids will take out your trigger if it shows any sign of tampering and replace it with a current POS, and then charge you for the pleasure!
No ill will intended nor taken.

Much bigger stuff to worry about, like shoveling snow, any of y'all shovel snow? Or, just BS?
