Remington Recalls Yet Another Batch of Rifles With Faulty Triggers
X-Mark Pro (XMP) trigger "could cause an unintentional discharge."
Posted 21 hours ago in Gun Safety, Shooting by Russ Chastain with 3 Comments
Just when you think you've seen the last of Remington's recalls, they surprise ya.
After decades of denial and quietly settling lawsuits resulting from faulty "Walker" triggers on their Model 700 rifles, Remington finally caved to immense pressure placed upon them by the father of child victim Gus Barber, and began using a different sort of trigger on their Model 700 and Model Seven bolt-action rifles: The X-Mark Pro, or XMP.
And now they're recalling many of THOSE rifles, because they may have "excess bonding agent used in the assembly process, which could cause an unintentional discharge."
Here's what they have to say about the recall:
WARNING:
STOP USING YOUR <broken link removed> . Any unintended discharge has the potential for causing injury or death. Immediately stop using your <broken link removed> until Remington can inspect it to determine if the XMP trigger has excess bonding agent used in the assembly process, which could cause an unintentional discharge and, if so, replace the trigger mechanism. If you own a <broken link removed> subject to this recall, Remington will provide shipping, inspection, replacement of the trigger mechanism if necessary, and return at no cost to you. DO NOT attempt to diagnose or repair your rifle yourself.
