+Alex Gemi You can do cardio everywhere?

+DenierVids thanks for your feedback man!

+robin singh Thank you so much man :)) , comments like that keep me working on this project! I wish you all the best as well!

+TheGreenDude Tomorrow I'm uploading the first one :))

+A REDTAIL I believe the little boy who was killed was shot with a Remington 700 that had the Walker trigger installed. The Walker is the trigger that was installed on Remington 700s from inception until about 2006. In 2006, Remington replaced the Walker trigger with the X-Mark Pro trigger in part due to pressure to do something due to the issues with the Walker trigger. What I have identified is the issue with the XMP (X-Mark Pro) trigger. What I discovered (and verified by Remington engineers) is that the bonding agent used in the XMP trigger is heat and cold sensitive and may cause a discharge when moving the safety lever from safe to fire in colder temperatures. As I understand, Remington has never admitted to an issue with the Walker trigger. This most recent recall is for the XMP trigger (~7.8M rifles).Having said that, your Remington 700 from the early 80s more than likely has the Walker trigger, not the XMP. You can verify this by checking on the Remington website. It describes how you can tell which trigger you have installed. But as I mentioned, others have had issues with the Walker trigger as well, but I can't speak to that - I only researched the XMP trigger. You may want to view a video by Arizonaresponse as he discusses the Walker trigger and how a mis-adjustment can lead to negligent discharges.Thank you for your comments and kind words! Enjoy your 700 - it will be a great pass-down item to your boys.

+Pride Rock Yes - Remington kept the rifle I sent them (the one in this video) and replaced it with the Remington 700 Alaskan Wilderness Rifle II.  It is a sweet shooting rifle and is literally a tack driver.

+JimmyDickens1 You are absolutely right regarding the Walker and XMP - two different triggers.  And many are confusing the two and comparing apples to oranges.

+funkyzero Your older 700's more than likely have the "Walker" trigger, named after the guy who designed it.  My video demonstrates the issue with the newer X-Mark Pro trigger, introduced to the 700 in ~2006.  Some have made claims that the older 700's with the Walker trigger have their trigger issues as well, but I can't speak to that.  As you watch videos that address 'Remington 700 issues', be mindful which trigger they are addressing.  Sometimes it's not so obvious.  For instance, Arizona Response has a video called 'Remington 700 Trigger - Creating a negligent discharge' that has garnered many comments.  Problem is, his video discusses the Walker trigger.  Many commenters are confusing his results with the XMP trigger - two entirely different triggers.

+T Mon One more comment:  My video demonstrates the issue with the newer X-Mark Pro trigger, introduced to the 700 in ~2006.  As you watch videos that address 'Remington 700 trigger issues', be mindful which trigger they are addressing.  Sometimes it's not so obvious.  For instance, Arizona Response has a video called 'Remington 700 Trigger - Creating a negligent discharge' that has garnered many comments.  Problem is, his video discusses the Walker trigger.  Many commenters are confusing his results with the XMP trigger - two entirely different triggers with two entirely different root causes to the issues.

+T Mon I have heard many great things about the Timney triggers.  Enjoy your 700!

 My trigger action actually improved quite a bit, much lighter and less gritty.  It still breaks the same, tad heavy but not too bad.  Will have to do till I get some Timneys in there.  Thanks.

+T Mon You have to be careful cleaning a trigger assembly with a bore cleaner.  Bore cleaner is a very strong cleaner suitable for removing lead and powder fouling from the all-metal (Steel) bore and barrel.  Trigger assemblies may contain bonding agent, plastics and  'weaker' metals, such as aluminum and will not do well with a bore cleaner.  That may explain the black residue you are seeing. I once "melted" the plastic hand grips on one of my pistols with bore cleaner - not good! Hoppe's Solvent #9 will work on your trigger, but not the Bore cleaner.

+JimmyDickens1 I've not had problems but they are newer. I cleaned mine with hopps bore clean and alcohol, there was a a lot of black residue that came out.

+T Mon Great question.  I thoroughly cleaned and lubricated the trigger assembly in accordance with the Owner's Manual in order to rule out gumming or 'stickiness' of the lubrication in colder temperatures.  I'm sure the cleanliness of the trigger assembly is one of the things the Remington engineers considered as well when they inspected my rifle after I submitted it to them for repair.  I'm certain another piece of their inspection was to rule out tampering of the trigger assembly.  What they found was no tampering and a clean trigger assembly. As you probably read in my video description above, the engineers agreed with my findings and discovered the bonding agent they were using in the trigger assembly is what is/was heat and cold sensitive, causing the problem. Remington then issued the recall.  Had they found a dirty, neglected trigger or a tampered with trigger assembly, they would have understandably dismissed my claims and sent my rifle back.
