Did it mention anything about trigger maintenance? Such as flushing with lighter fluid as Jewell recommends?

The Remington comments cited mentioned trigger modification and inadequate or lack of proper maintenance several times, but never stated a specific procedure.

Also, on another board this morning, I saw some comments that the other guy they interviewed, the one constantly smoking and trembling, was never an employee of Remington Arms and had nothing to do with the design of rifles. He worked for Remington Ammunition in customer service in Arkansas(?), not for Remington Arms in Ilion, NY.

This is clearly what they used to call "yellow journalism." The end of the program revealed the true agenda. CNBC and their liberal, anti-gun backers are starting a public campaign to change the historical product liability law position as it applies to firearms. Have no doubt, this is yet another attack on the Second Amendment. The antis have not been successful in directly attacking the Second Amendment, so they are going to try to legislate such tight control, it will make firearms prohibitively expensive. Don't forget, Miss Hillary and the Arrogant One want to make us just like the rest of the world to kiss the rear end of the UN.

This quote from part of Dave's blog is spot on regarding the mechanics of these triggers. He is a sharp guy with tons of experience. IMO
"And there we come to the crux of the matter. If the original 700 trigger has a fault, it is that it can be fooled with by anyone who has a small screwdriver. The adjustments are delicate, and if you don’t know how (or know enough) to keep sufficient engagement between the sear and the trigger connector, the rifle can slam fire, or fire when it’s dropped, or fire when the safety is flipped off. The same thing happens when you set the trigger pull lower than 3 pounds; it is not designed to function below that level, and there are some fools who love to take it down to 2 or 2 ½." It is a bad time (or an opportunistic one for some no mind sleezes) to bash Remington. I have visited there on a few occasions and have always found that they (employees at Ilion) will bend over backwards to help fix anything or make any problem I had right. They have consistently been exceptional to me. It also strikes me as od knowing that the Remington factory employs lots of men and women from the core of New York in an area that otherwise does not have much prosperity or industry left. Just what we need is potentially more US citizens out of work and another domestic corporation in jeopardy. Peter
