The Remington Model 700 and a dozen other Remington rifles can fire and maim and kill people when no one pulls the trigger. More than one hundred thousand documents have been produced in the course of litigating the trigger defect against the Remington Arms Company but most have been kept secret from the public through protective orders required by Remington in those cases. To help gun owners better understand the trigger defect and the danger it presents, Public Justice has worked with lawyers, particularly the class counsel in the Pollard v. Remington case, and with Richard Barber, a rifle expert who has worked tirelessly for many years to expose the dangers of the rifles, to collect and assemble the key documents from those cases. This website compiles and makes available those documents to explain the history of the trigger defect, the consumer complaints against Remington related to the defect, the history of testing failures, concealment of the defect, and timelines for the 700 and 710 rifle models. Power Points and Timelines provided by Timothy Monsees of Monsees & Mayer, PC, attorneys experienced representing people injured by the Remington 700 and other rifles with the defective trigger.
