PRODUCT RECALL: Some Brownells AR-15 Barrels Drilled Improperly

#1

Post by Pawpaw »

I just received an email that some Brownells AR-15 barrels are being recalled due to a small error in the manufacturing process. It appears that when drilling the gas port, some barrels may show signs of the drill bit contacting the rifling on the opposite side of the barrel.

THIS IS NOT A SAFTEY ISSUE!

I saw that in my inbox this morning, from TFB. It may not be a safety issue, but it sure as heck could be an accuracy issue. :mrgreen: Or......at least a "I had to dial in full left windage and 3/4 elevation in my scope to hit my 50 yard target.......and she keyholed......." sort of issue. :lol:
