yup. =) make sure you bring plenty of liquids, and food! the old bridge shoot is 7 stages, and is longer than any other in the area... I have already seen a few people get exhausted by the 4th stage. so have good breakfast, snacks, and lunch.

I think this meeting will be WELL worth it.

Happy birthday bud!

It is not a design defect.... a defect means it doesnt work under normal circumstances. His design is just not the most ideal. 125 incidents out of the 5 million rifles sold... is not bad. If this was truly a design defect, we would see more lawsuits. In any case... none of the "expert witnesses" could reproduce it under oath.

Great videos ty. El a muito grande tetas. =) how much are those safes?

In the past few years, however both are in production. Your rifle will say if it is an Xmark or not.

Btw, you do have an option if you feel your gun is unsafe.... SELL IT! I would be more than happy to take those unsafe firearms off of your hands.

It took me 5 tries to get it to stay between the two... and I had to use both hands to manipulate it that way. Even in doing so, the gun would not malfunction. In all cases of properly tuned guns, the gun is safe. If your trigger is adjusted so that it misfires if you look at it wrong... it is your issue, not the gun. Yes, the safety design is not the best.... but ultimately, the responsibility is on the user, NOT THE GUN. The Gun did not load a round into it self, the gun did not point itself in an unsafe direction, the gun did not adjust itself down to .5 lbs. It is ultimately unsafe gun handling that caused those injuries. Remington has a fix for it, you can send it in to get trigger replaced if you want it to.... but the gun is not unsafe. Besides, the so called "expert" is on camera... holding a gun with a bolt closed, with his finger on the trigger. More accidents happen that way than any other way? Should all AR's be recalled because they can cook off rounds if hot enough? Should some shotguns be recalled because they can discharge if dropped with force on the ground? Any machine is prone to malfunction, especially if you tinker with it. The issues with the 700's have been known as long as firearms forums have been around. It was an accepted fact..... now some CNBC reporter that may have a hard on for Remington that wants his few mins of fame decides to do a biased show, with leading and coached questions, with heavily edited quotes, and everyone trusts it as word of god. Link http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/pdf/records.pdf

I saw the original 1974 document... and it is not as what CNBC made it sound like.... They spelled out what had to happen to have it malfunction.... and if you have a remington 700, try to do this with your safety switch, you will see how hard it is to manipulate it in such a way.... (make sure it is empty). After having the selector on Fire, you had to place it in between Safe and Fire, then pull the trigger, and then place the switch on safe, at which point it would discharge. So you have to be doing it on purpose. The other known instances are with having a very very very light trigger, upon slamming the bolt shut, it would discharge from the distribution of force from the bolt slamming in, to transferring to the light trigger (beyond safe).

If your urine is that flavor... you should probably get checked out.

What you dont see is how the people in the videos messed with the safety mechanism before they showed the video. Furthermore... if you adjust the trigger to an unsafe level, nothing is going to stop it. If you breathe on it, it will go off. If any of those people practiced safe firearms handling, NONE of it would happen. This is like the new Volvo safety system... where the car breaks for you if you dont.... if the breaking system doesnt work... whose fault is it? the cars? or yours for not paying attention?

ok, just played with my Remington 700 VS circa 2001 ish. No way I could get it to discharge even when trying hard to get the safety switch to stay between fire and safe.

+1. Is the Remington 700 safety not the best design and prone to failure? Sure. They all are. BUT, the bigger issue is unsafe gun handling. If your gun is cocked and locked, do you go pointing at your friends face? Take the USPSA, there have been no deaths/injuries in the history of the events, held every week. Why? Proper gun handling and emphasis on preventing accidents from happening. The issue with the Remington would occur if..... you position the safety in between the Fire and Safe position, pull the trigger, THEN release the safety. remington released a response... http://www.remington700.tv/ also...

None that I am aware of for the MIB's. It is a burea that is maintained by the insurance industry and doctors to make sure people arent scamming the system. The Shrink's may have something different.

made this a sticky.

have it on dvr. going home now to watch it with dinner. they are repeating it at 10pm and 12 midnight.

external is best.

that is fine.

the small internal magwell is ok. but in any case, for local matches doesnt really matter much. You will need about 5 or 6 mags if you are shooting the 45 with 7 and 8 round mags.

holy nikes! Great job ray ray. I salute you for doing something to organize the event.... not like pinky. Someone better have videos.
