Hush your mouth Toby. It has been a good rifle even though it hasn't seen a lot of use in the last couple of years.

Upgrade to a 308 and then ship it down to Kiwi Greg to be turned into a 450BM, then gift to me 'cos...... well why not. ...

See that is why I like you Nibblet. You come up with all these great ideas.

I may even look into doing that myself if shipping tags etc take too long to get here

Bugger mines affected to had it for years now had 100 or so rounds thru it with out problems was planning on heading out with it Anzac weekend to go or not to go hmmmmm

From what I've been reading on the www, the issue is most likely excessive use of thread locker.
A lot of guys in the US are simply replacing the triggers with Timney's.

I'd still be going, primary safety is your index finger and which is controlled by the thing between your ears. As long as you always keep the pointy end of the noisemaker in a safe direction (usual operating proceedure anyway) you should be fine

Yeah was thinking that it can't go off if there's nothing in the breach ect plus all other safety things so will still go and worry about after Anzac weekend

Bugger mines affected too. Mine must be immune as have fired over 100 rounds through without fail.Surely that would of got rid of any excess lub.

Mines not far behind yours dundee put 40 or so rounds through it last sunday and about 10 or so the week I got it to sight it in.

Is there anyone on this forum that can assist us take up the offer of the 40% reduction and bring in firearms like the R25 in 308? With our dollar being so strong at the moment it would be good to take advantage of this without middle mans markup.

I had a friend(Pawnee Josh) adjust the trigger on a new 7mm Mag and there was so much thread locker he couldn't break the adjustment screw free. He kept trying and finally it broke loose.He adjusted it to about 3lbs and it has had about 50 rounds through it with no problem. I wonder if this is the issue they are talking about.

sounds like it @Colorado just found this thread and yup mine is affected to , considering the issues i had with it i wanted to put a timmney tactical in it luckily its just been in the safe for now untouched for the last 3 months .... will be waitin / watching with anticipation now

No that's not the problem, those adjustment screws are often locked solid.

Answer ----Either follow the recall procedure or get the trigger replaced by a competent gunsmith.

My gut feeling ---that's the only answer this thread should give, as any comments here might need to "hold water" in a court of law as this forum is read worldwide.

Be a bit of a stretch for a public forum to be held accountable wouldn't it?
