The Remington 700 rifle had a huge recall for a faulty trigger.

Yeah, the Walker trigger controversy. But, keep in mind a universe of almost 8 million triggers, and only a few dozen were even implicated. Not to take the Remington line (I'm still boycotting them) - but they were able to establish that some of the discharges were related to triggers adjusted out of recommended specs, deferred maintenance, other abuse, or admissions of "could have" pulled the trigger.

The military misfires are the most credible to me, because some of them were filmed specifically for that purpose. Interestingly enough, the military still uses the Walker trigger for some applications.

So, the odds of this being an actual, legitimate Walker trigger issue is about a billion to 1 - a million to 1 if it turns out to be a Remington 700.
