The individual this happened to had just purchased the rifle from a supposedly reputable dealer who told him that it had already been “checked out”.
that I replaced the trigger group in as soon as I acquired it because I have been hearing about the problems with their trigger groups for over 40 years! On top of that if you’d have bothered to read any of my other comments moron, I had the misfortune to actually witness an accidental discharge of a left handed 700 in. Among the various shotguns, handguns, and rifles I own there is one Remington 700 in 7mm Rem. “Liberals”? You’re just making an ASSumption and don’t know the first thing about me. If the face of the trigger is smooth, your rifle has an XMP trigger and IS subject to this recall. If the face of the trigger is ribbed, your rifle does not have an XMP trigger and is NOT subject to this recall. You may also determine if your rifle is subject to the recall by a visual inspection. You will be informed if your rifle is affected by this recall and supported with free resources to return the rifle for inspection and specialized cleaning.
Identify the serial number and provide it to Remington’s support team, either by entering it at or call 1-80 (Prompt #3 then Prompt #1) Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. To determine if your rifle is subject to this recall: Find the rifle’s serial number where the barrel meets the receiver, either on the left or right side of the receiver. Only Model 700 and Model Seven rifles with XMP triggers are being recalled. While Remington has the utmost confidence in the design of the XMP trigger, it is undertaking this recall in the interest of consumer safety to remove any potential excess bonding agent applied in the assembly process. A Remington investigation has determined that some XMP triggers might have excess bonding agent used in the assembly process.
