I personally would NOT get a 100ATR or 4x4 until Mossberg has recalled them and fixed this problem. If there *IS* a problem at all, that is. Sure sounds/looks like there is.
If some of these allegations are true, then you are literally taking your life in your hands just shooting one of these. A bolt entering into your brainstem through your cheek and mouth would not make for much fun.
If you have already bought one, or know someone who has, you'd really oughtta ring the alarm bells and warn them not to shoot it until extensive investigation has occurred.
Caliber, schmaliber.
Dr. THW,
Very interesting reading. It definitely makes me reconsider my opinion of the ATR and whether I will use it this year. I was not able to find anything recent on the status of the lawsuit or additional incidents. If you know or find out anything more about this please let me (and everyone else) know. Thanks.
