The first time I went to the Remington website to see what Remington was saying about the Model 700 safety, Remington said that all misfire cases involved a doctored trigger. Of the dozens of Model 700s I have fired in the course of a 20-year career of testing guns for a living, never has a discharge occurred from an unmodified rifle." Forcefully closing the bolt would allow the sear to move out of engagement, thus allowing the firing pin to move forward.
"I have firsthand experience with just one Model 700 trigger that malfunctioned as described on the show, and its connector was filed down so that less than a quarter of its original contact surface actually engaged the front face of the sear. Keefe, IV, editor in chief of American Rifleman, had this to say in his article "CNBC's 'Remington Under Fire'" in the January 2011 American Hunter. In all cases where a Model 700 allegedly misfired while the bolt was worked with the safety in the "fire" position, the safeties had been altered after the rifle left the Remington factory. In every case where a Model 700 Remington allegedly misfired, rigorous lab testing has not been able to make the Model 700 in question fire when the safety was in the "safe" position. While this tragedy is horrible, and words cannot describe this woman's grief, Gus' mother is solely to blame as she was pointing the rifle at her son. Gus was killed by his mother while she was unloading a Model 700 by cranking live rounds through the action with the gun's safety in the fire position.
