Trigger tampering was mentioned briefly.

But it was clear than any "misalignment" -- including out of spec parts -- could be the cause.

Walker made it clear that's what he thought -- and he said he was basically "inspecting out" the problem trigger groups.

So...the designer himself realized that he'd created a flawed design -- and tried to rectify his mistake -- almost immediately -- but the company wouldn't do it because it cost 5.5 cents more per gun.

Walker was asked whether he thought Remington was demonstrating blatant disregard and negligence for safety and human life.

He thought about it a second and replied he felt it was "stupidity".

But adjusting the trigger was indeed mentioned -- but it's still clear a design flaw existed from the very start.
