They also offered the same thing for early 700's.
My only point was that this wasn't a "safety recall" per se...it was an offer to remove a feature if the owner didn't want it. The 700 receivers to this day still have the slot for the bolt locking lever if a guy wanted to put one on.
Personally, I have never seen or heard of a Remington accidently firing a round when either opening or closing the bolt with either type of safety.
