[QUOTE="thaHooligan, post: 3844094, member: 14892"] Yes sir, I knew about the recall before I bought the rifle. The way it's made is there are 3 bolts on the receiver that clamp on to the barrel. They made them to be changed easily for different calibers, but I assume after they did that they realized what the consequences could be if someone didn't fully insert the barrel and wanted to avoid any legal ramifications that could come of it. I called and spoke to them and was told that if I send it in, they will permanently locktite the bolts in place. I thought maybe they would actually tac weld the bolts or tac weld the barrel to the receiver, but I guess not. I'm not to worried about the barrel ever being changed. I never planned to change the caliber and I've never needed a new barrel for any other rifle I have. The guy I spoke with made it sound like one of the bolts would have to be completely left out for it to move at all and create space between them. It's free to send it in and get it "fixed", so I may do that later on. For now I've marked the barrel with pencil and will keep an eye on the bolts to make sure nothing comes loose or moves.
