I wonder why the media is not as aggressive with investigating the alleged “mass shootings” which suddenly “happen”all over the country…

I am not a gun owner and never will be. Rich Barber needs to evaluate his values. The way I see it, he and his wife lost their son Gus, to a gun accident. I am so sorry for their loss and can’t imagine if that happened to me. Probably, by the sounds of the CNBC report, the Remington Gun Company (DuPont) definitley owns the bulk of the blame. But, for the Love of Jesus, I would suggest to Mr Barber to his face if I could that he should pack up his guns in a sack and burn them. I impore Mr Barber to take up another hobby. Checkers comes to mind. His little pea brain should find peace with Gus in that. Mr Barber posseses a characterr flaw beyond my comprehension. When is enough….ENOUGH?? Again, I do not own a gun. If Mr Barber had to use a gun to feed his family I could rationalize the need. But to go out in solitary to shoot the weapon that killed his son, Mr Barber needs his ass kicked straight.

As a full time gunsmith I have seen several similar trigger problems over the years. On several Remingtons the problem was dried oil in the trigger housing that did not allow the sear to fully engage. This problem is worse in cold weather. A cleaning with lighter fluid usually does the trick. I had to take apart the trigger and scrape the dried oil on one.

Sam Updike– I have to warn you that your method of making the gun ‘safe’ is EXTREMELY dangerous!!!
With the firing pin resting on the primer, all it takes a bump on the butt to cause the firing pin to retract by inertia and fire the gun as it snaps back forward. In addition, ANY impact on the back of the cocking piece fires the gun!!

Its’ better to leave the bolt handle raised into the ‘extraction cam’ notch and simply close the bolt when you want to fire.

Gun safety is the handler’s responsibility, PERIOD!

I have had a Rem 700 for many years, I had this problem when i changed the stock, though i had the sense to check without a round in it, as most of us do, anyway I found the cause was down to timber pressing against the side of the trigger mechanism, as soon as I had cut some timber away the problem stopped,since then I have come across the problem on other rifles and in such cases it is mostly caused by the action being loose in the stock or a new stock being fitted.

I have a Remington 700 6mm BDL in like new condition with only one problem–the rifle discharged twice without touching the trigger. I have written Remington Arm Co regarding the problem several years ago. Remington informed me they were unaware of any problems and this was an isolated incident. Haven’t used this gun since.
