He should take it to a gunsmith. Someone who is trained to diagnose and repair malfunctions caused by neglect of a firearm. This is NOT a design issue.
Disclaimer: I am a degreed and certified gunsmith.
The article does not say it is a design issue. A simple trigger replacement will almost certainly cure the problem. Lots of aftermarket Remington 700 triggers available.
Thinking on it, I may have a spare Remington 700 trigger floating around somewhere.

Have that trigger replaced. No other fix should be considered. It is gunsmith time for you. ExpatGator knows exactly what he is saying.
It is partly a design issue.
The Walker Fire Control system is known to have this exact problem when gummed up with congealed lubricant or rust in the trigger mechanism, especially when set to trigger pull weights under 3 pounds.
The connector isn’t returning against the trigger, in part because the spring adjustment isn’t strong enough to push the connector against the trigger and in part because the connector has no positive attachment to the front of the trigger.
One solution to this is to solder or glue the connector to the front of the trigger. Another is to simply get an aftermarket trigger and be done with it.
