Too much glue????
I believe that if they designed their trigger from a concept that was not based on a figure 4 trap it wold probably work.
I believe that if I were to buy a used Remington of any model right now I would forget the recall and replace the factory unit with a Timney trigger and forget about it.
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
Whew! My Mossins and Enfields are still good to go.
Yep, on that generation of rifle, including the Mauser and Springfield, the striker is held back by the sear independently of the trigger. The trigger must move the sear away from contact with the striker. On a Mauser rifle the firing pin will remain in the rear positions and the safety can be engaged even if there is no trigger installed in the rifle.
On the Remington system the trigger is what holds the sear against the striker. When the trigger moves the sear snaps away from the striker and that gun fires. It is honestly like a mousetrap or figure 4 trap.
In addition the trigger is adjustable three ways, creep, travel and weight, and each adjustment involves the pressures, amount of metal to metal contact and movements of the trigger which is directly holding back the sear/striker interface. You can adjust the Remington trigger down to mere ounces and the travel down to almost zero engagement.
Wear of the parts, grit in the assembly, or a good solid smack from dropping the rifle can spring the mouse trap.

You know what a Mosin recall would be like.
"We have safety issue. Owner is safety problem. We eliminate owner, safety issue gone."
Yea, but can you imagine sending that recall notice out to 37,000,000 MN owners?
That would be like wiping out 15% of the U.S. population!
Besides, most MN owners never use the safety. I know I don't. I leave the chamber empty and shuck a fresh round in as needed.

Just punched in the S/N for my Model seven...looks like it qualifies. Part of me want to just ignore it, but I plan on eventually gifting the rifle to one of my kids, so I want it to be safe. I looked at the Timney option Kyrat suggested and at less than $150 I'd say its a good option. Not sure what I'm gonna do just yet but thanks for the heads up!
There ain't too many problems you can't fix with $500 or a 30-06.
Him-"Whats the best knife for survival?"
Me-"the one that's in your pocket."
Him-"I don't have one in my pocket."
Me-"Exactly."
My BIL told me about this yesterday. He is sending his in. Mine is actually at his house right now, and he said he would check mine as well. I doubt mine is on the list though. I bought it in 2008, but it is a 710. If it is, I should probably look at the timney option. Of course, it cost less than $300, so is it even worth it?
I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
