FYI . . . http://www.cnbc.com/id/39554936/ Inside Remington Rifle's Controversial Trigger Published: Tuesday, 19 Oct 2010 | 1:55 PM ET By: Scott Cohn Senior Correspondent, CNBC At the heart of the decades-long controversy over the Remington 700 series is a piece of metal that is roughly the length of a paper clip. It is called a “trigger connector,” and it is an integral part of the firing mechanism patented by Remington engineer Merle “Mike” Walker in 1950. The so-called “Walker trigger” was a breakthrough in firearm design, allowing the smooth, crisp action favored by expert shooters at an affordable price. The connector is mounted on a spring inside the firing mechanism, sitting between the trigger and the sear—the metal bar that holds back the firing pin. According to Walker’s patent, the connector not only smoothes the action of the trigger, but also eliminates “trigger slap,” where the trigger bounces back slightly after the gun is fired. To this day, Walker calls his invention “a perfect trigger.” But multiple lawsuits against Remington allege the design is flawed. They claim small amounts of rust, debris, or even a small jolt can push the connector out of alignment, separating the trigger itself from the rest of the firing mechanism. Then, the complaints allege, the gun can go off when other parts are operated, such as the safety or the bolt. Walker himself advocated a mechanism that would have held the trigger and connector in place while the safety was on, but internal company documents show Remington rejected Walker’s “trigger block” because of the cost—estimated in 1948 to be an additional 5 ½ cents per gun. In a statement to CNBC, Remington says the 700 “has been free of defects since it was first produced.” But in 2007, Remington introduced a new firing mechanism for the 700 that includes the feature Mike Walker had proposed nearly 60 years earlier. The new trigger system, marketed as the “X-Mark Pro,” also eliminates Walker’s trigger connector. A source close to Remington tells CNBC the connector was removed because it had become the focus of so many lawsuits. However, Remington still insists the older system is safe, and in court cases has likened the introduction of the X-Mark Pro to that of a new car model—it does not mean the old model is inferior. Remington has not ordered a recall, and continues to use the Walker trigger in models such as the Remington 770 as well as sniper rifles supplied to the U.S. military. And CNBC found older models of the 700 with the Walker trigger still on sale at retailers across the country. To determine if your Remington 700 has the Walker firing mechanism or the X-Mark Pro, look at the trigger itself. If the trigger has grooves, it is a Walker. If it is smooth, it is an X-Mark Pro. CNBC.com will soon be publishing more stories about the Remington 700.

Sako/Anyone Do you know what make of pump gun Roger was using ? I didn't see him at ESC09 in the CZ Republic & was just curious. N Remington 870 confirmed when I spoke with him at the match.

Yes, In

A good match and a good time. Will be back. We had a great team lead by our captain Howard and son "Zombie Boy" Ben. Dean and crew did an outstanding job especially in the HOT weather. Robbie W. - Thanks again for helping me out - Thankfully you didn't need to break any glass.

Another update: The Show closed but it has been nominated for (7) Tony Awards: Best Revival of a Musical - Ragtime Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical - Christiane Noll, Ragtime Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical - Bobby Steggert, Ragtime Best Scenic Design of a Musical - Derek McLane, Ragtime Best Costume Design of a Musical - Santo Loquasto, Ragtime Best Lighting Design of a Musical - Donald Holder, Ragtime Best Direction of a Musical - Marcia Milgrom Dodge, Ragtime We're going to the ceremony - would like to see the Show win a few of these.

Agreed . . . "For the first time in the history of Formula One in the United States, a world-class facility will be purpose-built to host the event," Bernie Ecclestone said. "It was 30 years ago that the United States Grand Prix was last held on a purpose-built permanent road course circuit in Watkins Glen, which enjoyed great success." I would really like to see it back at the Glen.

Congrats to Rob Romero . . . way to go buddy

Confirmed . . .

From the Ammoland website: Madison, NC –-(AmmoLand.com)- After almost a century, the Model 1911 R1 marks the Remington brand’s return to the manufacture of the legendary 1911 handgun. In 1917, the U.S. Ordnance Department issued an order to Remington-UMC to manufacture 500,000 1911s for our fighting men in the armed services. The first Remington-UMC produced 1911 pistols were delivered in August of 1918. On November 11, 1918, the Armistice ending WWI was signed and the contract from the Ordnance Department with Remington-UMC was suspended. In all, Remington-UMC produced 21,677 1911s. You could say the 1911 was firmly implanted in our DNA, and now after 91 years, its back. The Remington-branded 1911 R1 is an A1 variant of the 1911 with modern upgrades. Like the original 1911, the 1911 R1 has a flat mainspring housing, short trigger and double diamond grips. 1911 devotees will appreciate the modern enhancements on the 1911 R1, such as a flared and lowered ejection port; beveled magazine well; loaded chamber indicator; high profile dovetailed single-dot front and two-dot rear sights; a crisp 3.5 – 5 pound trigger pull; and a match grade stainless steel barrel and barrel bushing. It also has the Series 80-style firing pin block safety. The Remington 1911 R1 will be shipped in a custom carry case with two seven-round magazines and a barrel bushing wrench. Most importantly, it’s made in Ilion, New York, with all the pride, precision and out-of-the-box performance you have come to expect from the Remington brand. The 1911 is the most customized and proven pistol design ever manufactured. This single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, recoil-operated handgun chambered for the 45 ACP cartridge has left its mark on battlefields and at competitions all over the world. On March 29th, 1911, this John M. Browning designed pistol was selected as the official sidearm of America’s Armed Forces. It was their standard-issue sidearm from 1911 to 1985 and is still used by some U.S. forces to this day. On May 14, 2010, the Remington 1911 R1 will be unveiled at the 139th National Rifle Association Annual Meetings in Charlotte, North Carolina, and will help this iconic American pistol shine brighter than ever. Initially, the Remington 1911 R1 will be available through select independent dealers beginning in June 2010. Make it a point today, to own a part of history, the first Remington 1911 in 91 years. Suggested retail price is $699.00.
