I think that we have answered this several times and yes my buddy has had his fire twice when the safety was removed and no the trigger was not modified or dirty.
My Dad had two incidents of this nature with his impeccably clean, lightly used 1986 era m700 mountain carbine. We had the trigger replaced by Remington (not free of charge) but were terribly disappointed with the customer service. His gun failed to fire, then went of as soon as the bolt was touched. Scary, and after the way Remington handled it, we won't buy any more of their merchandise, ever.
what model was the gun sarge
700 BDL 6MM bought in the 1980's
Yes, had one discharge after chambering and pushing safety off. This happened two different occasions. The safety and trigger are completely stock and as they were when they came out of the box; no adjustments. The rifle was clean as well. I sold the rifle to a friend whom I informed of the problem. I will NEVER buy another remington product so long as this inferior trigger mechanism is used. A good quality firearm will not do this, nor would a reputable company refuse to address this well documented problem. Your remington may have served you well but I wish that people would stop defending a proven flawed design, and a company that refuses to address it. You might drive a certain type of car with no problems, but that doesn't mean there aren't others that drive the same kind of vehicle with different results.
O'Here we go again! LOL!
In spite of many deniers this issue is real. Frightening when you consider the number of M700's in the woods on any given day during deer season or any other big game season for that matter. I know proper muzzle discipline will eliminate fatalities even with a flawed firing mechanism, but c'mon Remington own up to the problem.
I have posted about this before.
This problem is a very real occurrence. The problem is rooted with dirt and crap getting inside the trigger housing group. Most people are not diligent enough to clean this area out on a semi-regular basis. Because of this, the weapon can fire when the safety is moved to the "FIRE" position. This happened to my father once while we were groundhog hunting. Luckily the weapon was pointed in a safe position, and the weapon fired into a hillside. Scared the crap outta him, but everything was fine.
To the deniers, open your eyes and ears. There is a problem.
To the people that blame Remington, the problem is also on the user of the firearm. If you occasionally do a detailed cleaning of your firearm, the odds of anything happening are close to zero. Remington is at fault for their design flaw, but the customer is partly to blame for improper maintenance.
I have addressed this issue before and the firearm will discharge when the trigger assembly is squeaky clean or at least my buddy's did. I can only speak for that one rifle.
I wonder if this has occurred in a mauser action (8mm vz-24 or k-98)or if they are more reliable?
