Recall
Recall
In 1990, Winchester issued a recall for this rifle due to a tendency for the firing pin to break due to metal fatigue, and become lodged in the breech bolt face, causing the rifle to fire with the action not fully locked, leading to possible catastrophic failure and risk of severe injury or death to the shooter. Winchester offered to do repairs on the gun free of charge.
