Watched it with great interest. I recently got my great grand fathers Model 721 in 30.06. It was manufactured in 1951 and has the Walker trigger. My Dad had it for many years. The last time he hunted with it, it fired when he released the safety to unload the rifle. Fortunately it was pointed at the ground away from camp. That was many years ago and he didn't use the rifle after that.

I had done some research and found many complaints about the rifle firing without the trigger being pull. I also saw the lawsuit that was approved in 2014 and is still waiting for approval from a judge. I took the rifle to a range and couldn't make it malfunction.

I contacted Remington support and explained the above situation. They sent a pre paid shipping label and said that they will repair it under warranty. It was shipped to them about 2 weeks ago and I am waiting to hear back. I will post their answer and solution when I get it.

I'm guessing that they will replace the trigger in an effort to avoid a potential law suit should it malfunction again and cause damage.
