Sell cars that emit a few percent too much Nx.
>Murrica
Keep selling guns that have killed children due to faulty trigger mechanism.
No one would point a loaded gun? Tell the police sniper whose Remington fired through an on going raid.
When was the problem discovered? Don't ask!
When was it first recognized by a court verdict? Seriously, don't.
When was the call back initiated?
So is this the new Glock?

probably a cover-up for the cop's fuck up
>>28283607
8 million shitty guns are still 8 million shitty guns
Good post open. Remington just doesn't give a shit. I'd rather just build a mauser that I know I can rely on. Remington a shit

This is remington's response to claims of faulty products. Which news story are you talking about specifically?

Wow, that is some unashamed corporate whitewashing. They pull out all the stops, drama, lecturing, testimonials, obfuscation, without actually addressing the technical issue. Making it 15 minutes long is just rude.

>reporting the news is a serious business..
bwahahahaha, I don't think the news see it that way.
>>28285042
I was under the impression that action was reliable and decent, and I'm guessing it is but even rare occurrences like that are serious. I noticed they issued a recall on certain 700s but is there any other information regarding this? Is it reliable or not? Which actions are better/reliable yet decently priced?
>>28285457
There's decades of court battles, settlements, and NDAs. Remington has paid out millions, most without a judge. They have considered alternate mechanisms since the weapon's conception but have always considered saving a few cents the better option. US law leaves the decision to recall with the manufacturer unlike with any other product where the state can initiate it over safety concerns. Remington has considered a recall several times. But it would open them up to litigation, so they don't.
>>28285491
But I thought they DID recall some 700s? Shouldn't this fix the issue for new 700s? If they've identified a problem it should mean a correction in newly created remingtons right?

They lost a class action suit and anyone who joins it now will get their trigger replaced.
>>28286162
So the ones with the newer style trigger should be fine?

2009 is a production date I've seen thrown around.
CNBC made a followup documentary.

>>28283579
Anyone who buys a current-production Remington 700 without IMMEDIATELY refitting it is ASKING for trouble...
>>28288294
What's a good refit?
