What a complete disaster . I hope that they will promptly rectify all the issues and get rifles back to everyone affected. In reality they should have offered a full refund but then we would go off and buy a tikka , howa or similar...... but their reputation is severely dented and the only way for them to resurrect themselves is to source quality barrels from overseas or locally and fit these to their rifles - and make it a known fact. Forget using their own barrels - that didn't work.
I will be keeping a close eye on their website and anticipate a "308 recall notice" eventually - hope i am proven wrong.

Hi Ladies and Gents.
This is an email I received from Stephen Brown, Civil Firearms Customer Service Officer, Lithgow Arms dated Monday the 5th of November 2018.
"At this point in time, no recall has been entered into with the LA102 in 308W.
We are applying what we have learnt with the other two calibres to change the material and the process for the 308W barrels.
Kind regards"
It was the answer I received from a question about the barrel recalls.
