Quote:Jun 14, 2013 - This recall applies to all ICON, VENTURE and DIMENSION rifles manufactured by Thompson/Center Arms prior to June 13, 2013
Quote:Thompson/Center Arms has issued a major recall for all its Icon, Venture and Dimension rifles.
Last week, T/C Arms released a public safety notice saying the company identified a problem in which the safety lever in some rifles can bind, preventing the safety from fully engaging. When this happens, moving the bolt back could move the safety into the fire position.
T/C Arms stressed the rifle will not fire unless the trigger is pulled, but is recalling all rifles manufactured before June 13, 2013, as a precaution. The company urged all owners to stop using the rifles immediately and send them back to be inspected or repaired at T/C Arms’ expense.
For more information on how to return your rifle, contact Thompson/Center customer service, which will send a pre-paid shipping label. Once the rifle is inspected, it will be returned with a small marking on the safety along with a red star on the package’s label. Any owners outside the U.S. should check this list of authorized warranty centers.

The first recall from 2011 was for only specific serial numbers regarding a faulty sear which caused the rifle to fire without the trigger being pulled.
The latest recall is for all models regardless of sn, as stated above.
I sent my Venture Predator back two weeks ago to address both recalls, and they paid shipping both ways. FedEx says it will be at my door tomorrow, so turn around was pretty quick for me.

That's not correct, the out of spec sears never caused an unintentional discharge. It was a precautionary recall to make sure nothing like that happened, just like the current recall.

Send it to me...........just about every gun company out there has had recalls, some far more than others. Sending a gun back on their dime to fix a potential issue where a part can move while the rifle is on its side which causes the safety to lock up.and.not.move is not a big deal..........but that's just me

Tell them to keep it ? They are not going to refund you a retail price or any at all. Get it fixed and sell it,if it's an issue to you.
Cars and trucks have recalls all the stink'n time....

I should have been more specific, saying the sear MAY cause an unwanted discharge without the trigger being pulled.
Either way, S&W are asking owners with relevant sn's to stop using their rifle until it can be addressed.

When I requested my label for return, it was emailed to me within minutes, maybe even seconds. I doubt you'll have to wait two weeks for it to arrive.
Go to a local gun store and ask for a box, they'll give you an extra one lying around to ship it back. They're turn times are great, and you'll have your rifle back in no time.
Or don't send it in at all if it really bothers you that bad to have to wait for it!
