Kits sold during this time period may have been supplied with an incorrect hammer, which may lead to a failure of certain rifles to function as intended–including a potential risk of an unintended discharge. These kits were available for purchase online and through select retailers and distributors, including Turner’s Outdoorsman, Cabela’s, among others.
