According to Winchester a limited number of the Super X Pumps may, “…may, under certain circumstances, unintentionally discharge while closing the action.” They further advise, “Failure to return any affected shotguns for inspection and/or repair may create a risk of harm, including serious personal injury or death.”

Gosh, you think?

Understatement.
