No the original designer did NOT say the design was flawed-he said it was POSSIBLE that IF people did not properly clean and maintain the rifle-dirt and/or excess oil in the trigger assembly MIGHT cause it to discharge-MIGHT,COULD POSSIBLY. The man who designed the trigger-Mr. Walker NEVER ONCE said the design was flawed.
If it is such a bad trigger assembly-why does the military specify that the remington 700’s that both the US Army,and the USMC use as their main sniper rifle-comes with the Walker trigger?
The US military has used the remington 700 as their main sniper rifle since the early sixties,and they still use it.
All CNBC did was try to make guns look bad,as usual,mayor for life Bloomberg likely financed the story.
