Hoping it doesn’t extend to the others or delay the 6.5CM delivery, although I am a little

It has come to our attention that there is a potential barrel defect affecting the LA102 CrossOver rifle in .223 REM calibre.

The potential defect is isolated to LA102 CrossOver rifles in .223 REM calibre only, which have been available for sale between November 2016 to present. Accordingly, Lithgow Arms is taking precautionary action to recall all of the rifles meeting that description.

WHAT IS THE DEFECT?
Over time small cracks may develop in the barrel of the LA102 CrossOver rifle in .223 REM calibre.

WHAT ARE THE HAZARDS?
Potential injury from escaping gas from the failed barrel.

WHAT SHOULD THE OWNER OF A LA102 CROSSOVER RIFLE IN .223 REM CALIBRE DO?
Owners of a LA102 CrossOver rifle in .223 REM calibre should STOP using their rifle immediately and arrange for the return of the rifle to Lithgow Arms via their local gun shop.

Gun shops will send the rifles to the Lithgow Arms factory, who will inspect and replace the rifle’s barrel as necessary and return the rifle to the gun shop for return to the owner.

There will be no cost incurred by the owner during the barrel replacement process.

I imagine this is why they announced the new warranty a few days earlier.
