From the Editor:
My personal rifle is one of the affected S/N’s and I am appreciative of IWI’s efforts to deliver a completely safe product if there is even a minor possibility of a component that could result in an unsafe gun. It’s a bad part in a good rifle and I look forward to running this gun heavily in 2024.
