I think that it may even be pertinent for a subsequent buyer to claim that
the fault was created by the previous owner of the rifle and leave the
vendor open to being sued for any injury that might result.
If any one has a faulty arm one is as well to have a competent gunsmith or
the maker check it and warrant it now OK if only to cover one's own back
after the gun is sold.

I must disagree with you Steve, I cant see putting firearms in the same
class as a used car,in my humble opinion the individual in question
should have notified Remington for repair, then traded the rifle or at
the very least disclosed the unsafe condition of the rifle to the new
owner.my conscience wouldn't allow me to do any less were this my
rifle.

My point was there are plenty of people out there selling dodgy
used cars that can kill you too!

I've had it happen with a Ruger M77 following a trigger job. That's one
gunsmith I won't go back to.. Peter W

CS: Target-Rem 700 problems

This is a common problem in some rifle designs.

I had a Webley Osprey air-rifle, a side-lever job, when I was a kid. I found
out
that the safety was faulty only after I shot myself in the foot with it. The
safety
would stop the gun from firing, but when you pulled the trigger, then took
off the
safety, it was impossible to prevent the gun from discharging. I am
fortunate to
have learned the lesson that guns are dangerous at an early age, in a minor
but
painful enough manner that I remember it well, and I ALWAYS treat a gun as
loaded
unless I have made sure myself. I don't trust any safety that I can't see,
either!

Listers:  I don't usually look at the title page of the VDD/GNA
website.  But was shocked when I checked it tonight.  I suggest everyone
check out:

http://www.vdd-gna.org/

There you will find an article entitled:  "NEWSBULLETIN!  Possible
Misfires With Remington 700" (rifles).

I have a Remington 700 BDL (7mm mag.) and my brother has one.  I'm a
life member of NRA and I have not seen anything about this problem
before.
