Colt Issues Safety Recall for AR-Type Rifles Made in 2021
Colt has issued a Recall for certain Colt AR-type rifles made in 2021. Here is the official Recall Notice:
COLT’S Manufacturing LLC (“Colt”) has recently discovered a potential safety issue with certain Modern Sporting Rifles (“MSRs”). Colt is voluntarily initiating a recall to protect the safety of its customers because, under certain conditions, it is possible that some of these MSRs may discharge a second round when the trigger is released when there is a live round in the chamber.

In keeping with that commitment, during routine quality testing, Colt discovered that hammers that do not meet Colt’s specifications were installed in certain MSRs that were manufactured beginning on March 5, 2021.

Sounds like “out of tolerance” trigger / hammer components and / or out of spec axis hole locations in the lower. My recollection of the tolerances on the drawings is that they are not down in the sub-micron range, so, if it were no big deal in the early 1960’s, what has changed?
I’ll check some more drawings, but, I’m pretty sure the location of those axis holes has not changed since the early 1960’s, if ever. Ditto the absolute and relative relationships of the engaging surfaces on the trigger, sear and hammer. See also springs.
Come on Colt; lift your game.
