Re: Remington 700 PSS - "Walker trigger"
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Beef</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I know of a collection of more than 20 of these model 700s nearly every one has had the trigger adjusted, function and safety checked and most have had hundreds of rounds thru them, some, thousands. Not one has had an AD. They also do not get pointed at living creatures that are intended to stay living. They do not get handled and certainly not cleaned without first verifying their status and taking the appropriate action, even if it was just observed checked by someone else. Always assume its loaded until you personally know otherwise, mistakes happen and memories fail. Never trust a mechanical safety to work.
Go to a public range and watch people handle firearms, particularly watch their trigger finger. No one wants to admit they hotted someone, especially family, by being an idiot, it has to be the gun's fault. Never mind the fact they were handling it with a round in the chamber pointed at a person. They should be in jail.
Oh yeah, the new remmy trigger can apparently be good, mine was bad, the Timney is a fantastic and simple unit, if you choose to upgrade. </div></div>
Yea, I have some first hand experiance with morons like that. I was taking an armed security class before I went into LE. As part of it you sit through the handgun permit class. The instructor told us to open our gun cases and look at something on our firearms. The guy sitting next to me instantly picked his firearm up placing his finger on the tigger and pointed it at me. Needless to say I was hot.. I got up and walked to stand in the back of the class room for the rest of the class room instruction after letting the guy know he was a dumbass.
