What EXACTLY do you think is wrong with the Walker trigger? You have not said anything specific and of substance and I am wondering whose line of reasoning you are swallowing.


Remington's own manufacturing records, for one.

I agree that an FOR discharge should not happen and that in many cases it probably has been the result of mal-adjusted or dirty triggers. The question is who adjusted the trigger and when. Remington's own records showed many M700s and a much higher percentage of M600's (same trigger) failed testing as they went down the manufacturing line. Are you suggesting none of those made it into the wild?




None involved in court cases involving physical harm has ever been seen to repeat the act even after greatly extended testing. Jack Belk tried on a bunch and failed until he maladjusted them. He was paid well and called them junk. 60 Minutes did a hatchet job on Remington.


Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
