SAGA has spoken to Formalito who are the South African agent for Remington.

Formalito confirm that they have received the new triggers and are making arrangements with gunsmiths around the country to do the work. They hope to be ready to begin the trigger replacements by mid-August. The replacement of the trigger will be free of charge and the "old" trigger must be handed in.

As soon as more details are available, Formalito will let us know and we will send them out.
