Dangerously UNSAFE Remington 721- Part 1
Have a buddy that has an older Remington Model 721 in 30.06. The PROBLEM is that it will eventually kill someone. The issue is the originally designed trigger. What happened is that out of the 50-60 rounds that he shot, he had 2 that fired without pulling the trigger. This isn't some Alec Baldwin argument, but an actual documented issue. One round was fired when he closed the bolt and the other when he had a round chambered with the safety in the ON position and took the safety off. Luckily both rounds went in a safe direction and no one was hurt. Common sense gun safety (not the excrement that the gun grabbers are saying) actually works.
There is a lot of talk on the forums about the issue affecting the older Remington 700 series (700/721/722 Others?) and what to do. I even found a video of a guy explaining the issue and fix (https://youtu.be/Nz48KyiuGi4). But since this isn't my rifle I figured that doing a "fix" on the trigger group isn't the idea. So I'll replace it with a new trigger. Going with a Timney Elite Hunter.
There are some clearance issues with doing this trigger swap. However, the work is easy but it does take a little bit of time. As with any project, once you dive in you find out that there is always more that you will have to do that your weren't accounting for...hence the need for a Part 2.
