Colt's Manufacturing Company 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. Colt is committed to the highest standards of quality and customer satisfaction. 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. The issue will be corrected by replacing the hammers in affected MSRs. The recall only covers a portion of MSRs manufactured beginning on March 5, 2021, and includes the following models: AR15A4, CR6700A4, CR6920, CR6920-EPR, CR6920MPS-B, CR6921, CR6921-EPR, CR6933, CR6933-EPR, CR6960, LE6920-EPR, LE6920MPS-B, LE6920-OEM1, LE6920-OEM2, LE6920-R, LE6933-EPR, SP633784, LE6920SOCOM. The following chart lists all the serial numbers for those models that may potentially be subject to the recall: Model MarkingSerial Numbers AR-15 A4CAR022851 CAR023250 CARBINECR036354 CR099599 CARBINECR713001 CR722100 M4 CARBINECR716801 CR721500 M4A1 CARBINECR021580 CR022024 To prevent the possibility of death or serious personal injury, Colt advises anyone who has purchased a Colt MSR since March 5, 2021 to stop using it immediately and visit ColtRepairMSR.com or call Customer Service at 1-800-971-3216 to see if your specific MSR is affected. Please note: Not all MSRs within the serial number range in the above chart are subject to this recall and this website offers easy, step-by-step instructions to determine if a particular MSR is affected. Customer service agents will assist anyone who needs additional help. Our expert craftsmen are ready to upgrade all affected MSRs at our West Hartford, CT headquarters. |

Checking numbers ETA: I have one. It seems like a lot of trouble to send back the lower and worry about it making it back, vs just buying a Colt hammer (which of course are out of stock everywhere  ).ETA2: Turns out I had two rifles on the list. With all the shipping problems people have had, and against my better judgement, I shipped them out and they arrived in CT late yesterday. Turn-around is supposed to be 14 days. We’ll see. |

I'm sorry if the above info makes no sense. I'm kind of an idiot.

I’d sooner just throw an MBT in it than dealing with a lower being in USPS possession around the Holidays. |

Intimidation of performing the task for some, others will not want to part with the ~$30-$40 for another hammer. I see where Colt is coming from, liability and all though. |

I see where Colt is coming from, liability and all though. Right I understand colt really has no other options. I know money is relative and I know people will go through all sorts of trouble to not spend that $30. Anyway yeah Colt will just eat shipping costs i guess. |

At least, I hope most here could throw a polished up mil-spec set in there

Wasn't arguing with you at all I agree. |

At least, I hope most here could throw a polished up mil-spec set in there Out of a dozen guys at my shop that own ARs I've been asked to perform the simplest of tasks many times. My standard response now is" No, I won't do it for you. But I'll share my tools and tell you how to do it". Some still turn down the offer. |

The shop I work at was told to ship the trigger groups back, and we did so. It appears that the affected triggers were subcontracted out to CMC, as CMC was on the Shipping To part of the label... though the address was West Hartford. ETA: I just realized it could mean "Colt's Manufacturing Company" rather than the other company. My bad. |
