S&W MP15-22 recall

Daryll

.270 WIN
I know this isn't a Mossberg issue, but anyone who has a M&P15-22 should be aware of a recall on certain serial numbers which could have a problem with the bolt, which could cause in-inadvertent discharges, or multiple discharges.

It looks like they didn't machine the rim recess in the bolt deep enough, so when the bolt slams forwards chambering the round, it can squash the rim and fire the round.

If anyone gets a gauge to measure the recess, can they tell me the thickness please... These firearms are pretty popular here in the UK and several dealers have asked S&W for gauges, but apparently S&W won't ship outside the US..!!

The SAAMI spec for the rim of rimfire rounds is 0.043 to 0.051, so i'd guess the gauge is going to be 0.051 thick...

Many thanks

Daryll.
