I'm slightly skeptical...and maybe it's only that guys videography skills and documentation. He sounds a little pissed and gives good advice regarding safety; but why not show the receipt from a week ago? Why not give a better view of the safety position?
I'm a browning guy, so not a Winchester fanboy. Just sayin' ya know???
Are there other people with issues like this? That could be a pretty bad deal.

Hell yeah, he sounds pissed. I would be pissed as well. I'm sure the last thing on his mind was the receipt. Would it really matter if the safety was on or off? Should a firearm fire a round by simply clambering a round?
Thanks for posting this video.

Upon inspection and/or repair by the Winchester Repeating Arms Service Center, all SXPs affected by this recall will be inconspicuously marked on the front of the receiver as shown below in the illustration. If an SXP already has this marking, the firearm has been inspected and/or repaired.
