I don't understand why remington is getting involved in this. Isn't it the owners responsibility to make repairs/modifications and to keep the rifle in proper working order? Isn't it the owners responsibility to understand the workings of ALL its parts and features? Who is responsible for proper firearm safety? The owner, or the manufacturer? Firearms should not be designed so that the stupidest and clumsiest and least careful can safely handle them.

If the engine in your car explodes because of a defect is it your responsibility? I would think most manufacturers are going to fix a "defect" instead of having problems and geting sued. The price to fix it is probably much less than getting stuck with a bunch of lawsuits. Kind of Good Will too.
