The unique Trigger Mechanism was originally designed for the Model 721 just after World War 2 and was popular because of its smooth action and accuracy. The original designer of the Trigger, Merle 'Mike' Walker began blowing the whistle on his own design in 1946 and wrote a memo to Remington which apparently was ignored. This effects Rifles Made for the general public, law enforcement, and in some cases for the military. Remington says they will reimburse owners for this cost.

Some owners, like myself, have all ready fixed this issue on their Rifles by having new trigger mechanisms installed. If parts are no longer available on any of the Model Numbers for various reasons, and cannot be repaired (retrofitted), Remington plans to issue a Voucher to those owners that can be used on other Remington Products. This will be done at NO cost to the owner. If the Rifle is older it will be repaired (retrofitted) by Remington. If the Rifle is newly purchased Remington will repair (retrofit) or replace the firearm. Under the terms of the Pending Lawsuit the following may apply. The Pending Recall by Remington is a Fix, Reimbursement, or Replacement action. Public Notice of Pending Lawsuit issued by Remington December 6, 2014. This would involve more than one style Trigger mechanism. Note some are insisting this go all the way back to 1946.

Tentatively Remington is considering a RECALL of all their Hunting Rifles in the following series from 1980 to Present. Latest on Remington Rifle Recalls, pending approval by a Judge on a settlement of a massive lawsuit against Remington.
