125 reported incidents out of 20,000,000 firearms using the Remington common fire control group works out to .000625%. It doesn’t seem like much of an issue with the fire control group to me. I would jump at the chance to buy anything that had a .000625% chance of failing.
“Reported incidents”. There were many unofficial reports made directly to Remington, myself included. I had a Sendero 300WM with factory settings on the trigger that would fire when the bolt closed or the safety was released. Nothing “official” about my report, just a factory rep.
“I would jump at the chance to buy anything that had a .000625% chance of failing.”
How about if you chose 1 in 10,000 people that claimed to have a malfunctioning rifle to be pointed at your head and the bolt closed on a live round? Would THAT be an acceptable failure rate then? Of course not. Any idiot that know failure rates knows officially reported incidents are usually just the tip of the iceberg of actual failures.
