I am posting this here since it seems to get the most viewing. Move to correct forum if needed.

Is this the problem that occurred at appleseed?

Ordering a gauge but more so I can figure out how to intentionally make it not within compliance. lulz

Maybe there is hope, I mis-read the date, I thought it was after. But still, it has not shown any sign, not even a non-intensional double tap.

Mine is a late 2009 model which is the year they started selling & hasn't ever displayed this issue. My guess is that cost savings somewhere over the years is probably to blame for newer ones (from what I've read) having this issue.

Received my gauge today, didn't check my rifle yet though.

Same here, gauge arrived yesterday but it’s still taped to the card...

Got mine mid week. Not surprisingly, my 2010 made rifle s in spec.

Didn't even bother untaping the gauge, just folded the corner of the card back for access. Figured it would be harder to lose the gauge that way.

Sent from somewhere...

Unfortunately mine is within spec.

Dont know why exactly but this does kind of remind me of the search for a golden ticket. Odd.

I got my gauge from S&W, so feel free to drop by bowers with a CLEAN bolt, and ill check free of charge.

(All the ones Ive checked so far have been fine)

I got my gauge and mine and my friends are in spec - his is an older model and mine a few years old. Guess the problem isn't as widespread as it sounded like from the recall notice.
