Do Not Buy Remington Arms

45 years ago, my Remington Model 660 rifle discharged in a 20 foot travel trailer while my father was unloading it.

A lifetime of tinnitus has been the result for me.

After all this time, I've learned that Remington Arms has been installing faulty triggers for over 1/2 a century, and they know it.

Thousands of accidental discharge reports that they kept hidden until discovery in class action suits (including a man who shot and killed his young son because of the issue).

As a result of the class action, Remington is offering me a $12.83 credit on their web store so long as I sign away my rights to further pursue their fault for my hearing deficit.

I still have the rifle; hasn't been fired since way back then. I keep it in case I can use it for evidence somehow.

DO NOT BUY REMINGTON ARMS!

 

Hi @Tim Dahl - It was unfortunate that you happened to be nearby when your father discharged his rifle and, as a result, you had to suffer tinnitus.

It certainly has been a long time since that event and I would like to know how you have (apparently) successfully managed to handle this malady? I gather it must have been (or still is) rather severe and I am curious to know what treatments (if any) and coping mechanisms you have used to deal with your persistent tinnitus?

Wishing you well.

Barbara

 

$12.83 dang..._

 

I'm so sorry. How old were you when it happened? How bad is your T? This is a very sad story. God bless you
