As to AD's and Remingtons....I've seen it first hand.
and with Mini Mk X's and any other rifle where something gets loose or out of adjustment........
eh76, I agree with your "loose or out of adjustment" comment and other rifles. However, neither was the cause of the safety event this time. Inspection on the bench that evening showed the mechanism to be clean as a whistle with no looseness or undue tolerances, and factory setting untouched. Just one more example of the need for muzzle control.
Birdwatcher - that one had never before done such a thing. I don't know whether or not the "bolt-close-fire" rifle had ever done so before.
I'm just glad those didn't cause secondary problems, and am yet better informed.
