Applies to Specific Rifles Manufactured after November 2022
Henry Repeating Arms is initiating a voluntary safety recall for lever action .45-70 rifles manufactured between December 14, 2022, and January 11, 2023. Under certain conditions, it is possible that some of these rifles may unintentionally discharge without the trigger being pulled if the hammer is released or dropped from the cocked position due to the use of firing pins that may not meet specifications.To prevent the possibility of death or serious personal injury, Henry Repeating Arms requests that all owners of a lever action .45-70 discontinue all use until it is determined whether or not the rifle is subject to the recall.
Any Henry Repeating Arms firearm obtained before December 2022 is not subject to this recall, and no action is needed.
To determine if your Henry .45-70 lever action rifle is affected, owners should look up their serial number at henryusa.com/recall, email recall@henryusa.com, or call toll-free 1-866-200-2354 (M-F, 9 am ET-5 pm ET). If the serial number is flagged, and service is required, Henry Repeating Arms will provide a shipping carton and return label at no charge to replace the firing pin. Customers will also receive a $50 gift certificate for HenryPride.com upon completion of service.
CZ-USA has recently learned of a potential safety issue with the CZ 600 bolt-action rifles. CZ-USA is voluntarily initiating a recall of these rifles to protect the safety of its customers because of the potential for a catastrophic failure if the barrel is not installed correctly.
To prevent the possibility of death or serious personal injury, you should immediately stop using your CZ 600 rifle and not load or fire it until it has been returned to CZ-USA to be inspected and modified.
CZ 600
CZ 600 rifles were designed to allow the users to replace the barrels themselves to change the caliber. CZ-USA has learned that if the barrel is improperly installed, it is possible that the rifle could still be fired, but potentially result in a catastrophic failure. CZ-USA will correct this issue by permanently installing the barrels in CZ 600 rifles. As a result, the barrels on CZ 600 rifles will no longer be interchangeable. CZ-USA understands that this solution may not be acceptable to some of our customers, in which case we will issue a full refund upon presentation of a valid receipt for the purchase of your rifle.
CHECK YOUR SERIAL NUMBER
If you own a CZ 600 rifle, CZ-USA urges you to determine whether it is affected by this recall by going to the web page below:
Important Safety Recall for Certain Modern Sporting Rifles
Colt’s Manufacturing Company LLC (Colt) has recently discovered a potential safety issue with certain of its semi-automatic only Modern Sporting Rifles (“MSR”). Colt is voluntarily initiating a recall to protect the safety of its customers because of the potential for certain MSRs to discharge unintentionally and because of its commitment to the highest standards of quality and customer satisfaction.
To prevent the possibility of death or serious personal injury, you should immediately stop using your MSR and not load or fire it until you have determined if it is affected, and it has been upgraded if necessary.
Additional information including specifics on the rifles affected and how to obtain a repair if applicable can be found at this link.
You may wish to use a sling with your rifle or shotgun to make to make it easier to carry and less likely for you to drop it.
There are different type of slings. A one point sling is attached to your weapon at only one place while a two point sling attached at two points. Look at any firearms that you might have to see the number and type of any sling mounting points available. If it lacks a sling mount point, you can add one or more to it. Here are some examples.
Magpul and other vendors sell slings that convert from a 2 point to a 1 point sling by clipping back onto itself.
The photo above shows a sling with a clip at one end clipped back onto itself. Some slings have clips at both ends, while some other slings use quick disconnect or QD connectors at their ends. The right sling for your firearm needs to match the attaching hardware you are using. Here are some sling that use QD connectors but we have other kinds in our store.
The QD connector seen here on the end of a sling has little balls that normally protrude but will retract when the spring loaded button on the top is pushed and held. It snaps into the hole and then stays connected. Also note those regular spaced bars on the top in photo below. Those are Picatinny rails and there are mount adapters that can be used with them if you don’t have an existing QD hole or sling swivel loop.
If your foregrip lacks a hole like this, you can still use something that attaches to it and adds a mounting point for a sling, like a M-LOK attached QD point. M-LOK is a pattern of holes on parts that support attachments using the M-LOK mounting system where the attachments have small screws with nuts that cam into place.
If you are using a 2 point sling you will want a second attach point down near the stock. Some stocks are made with a QD sized hole in them, similar to the hole found in the foregrip.
Other firearms require you to add a mount and a common one is a plate that is installed right where the buffer tube meets the lower receiver on an AR-15 type rifle.
This plate doesn’t use the QD type attachment and is made for use with clips.
This happens to be pictured on an AR style pistol but the same plates are used on rifles and are right where the stock and buffer tube meets the lower receiver.
Manno Firearms carriers a wide variety of slings, M-LOK attachments, and other accessories for firearms. This also includes items that mount on Picatinny rails.
Tragic. Avoidable. Sad. Upsetting. There are a lot of words that come to mind when thinking about the awful shooting that left so many dead. I’m sure the families of those impacted need time to process, think, and grieve. Lets all be respectful and let that process happen before adding smoke to this situation, which can only serve to obscure the facts, delay real solutions and further hurt the families in their time of grief.
But when we do get to the rhetoric, I’d put a few facts and thoughts on the table for commentators to consider and news organizations to fact-check before putting pen to paper or words through lips.
– This isn’t about the device used. Yes, it was a gun. Would you feel better if this was done with a knife? A Bomb? An arsonist? My point is, it’s not about the device used, it’s the person and ACTIONS the person took that matters.
– Focus on “AR15″… that will be uttered endless times. As will “high power”, “automatic weapon”, “high capacity” and “military-style weapon”. Consider the following: All weapons are designed to kill and most, from pistol to shotgun to rifle and to “AR15” can cause the same carnage. So focusing on the AR15, and even magically making every AR15 in the world disappear wouldn’t change a thing. A person with bad intentions will just select another ‘device’, like a pistol. Then what? We’re back to banning all weapons right?
– Capacity is always talked about… but two facts must be clearly understood. It takes LESS THEN 3 SECONDS to insert a new “mag” into the weapon. Here’s the important part… that’s TRUE regardless of it being an AR15, Pistol or most other weapons. So when you hear rhetoric about ‘limiting capacity’ understand thats NOT going to change the outcome of a mass shooting. It is the RARE exception that someone actually rushes the shooter to stop them. In 95+ percent of the cases it’s another person with a weapon that STOPS the criminal with the weapon. Capacity, AR15, and high power discussions are all irrelevant. Criminals IGNORE THE LAW.
– The question “was the gun bought legally” will be asked 100x a day. As an FFL I can tell you there are “good common sense” gates in place that have to be all properly gone through before any weapon can be sold. FFL’s are actively inspected, accurate documentation maintained and available for spot inspections, tracking, FBI background checks AT THE TIME OF TRANSFER, and may other ‘common sense’ things. So if you want to talk about how criminals get guns, the answer is they get them illegally. Period. And if they got them legally, it’s because at the time of purchase they weren’t criminals, or involved in domestic disputes, and a long list of other things that are checked. So appropriate checks are in place when buying through licensed dealers and FFL’s. So don’t generalize when you argue the point of “anyone can get a gun anywhere”. Thats simply NOT the case.
– Criminals IGNORE THE LAW. Let me say that again. Criminals IGNORE THE LAW. If I take my legally owned car, with my valid license and drive into a crowd intentionally – I’d be a criminal. And no one in the media would say “When are we going to ban these cars!” or “These cars are just too high powered” or “that car had military style tires”. All would be ridiculous arguments. In a tragic situation like Florida, it’s just as ridiculous to say “when are we going to get common sense gun laws”. It would be more appropriate to ask “when are we going to get good enforced penalties for law breakers”?
I’m for background checks. We do that today. I’m for crazy people NOT having access to any weapon. I’m for strong penalties for anyone using any device illegally. What I’m not for are laws that intend to disarm law abiding citizens. If you know history, you know the 2nd Amendment has NOTHING to do with hunting. So when you hear “why does someone need an AR15 to hunt deer?” you should say “The 2nd Amendment has NOTHING to do with hunting – Don’t FOG the issue with false information”.
Turn on the news… and already it’s endless rhetoric, endless false facts, and so the fight begins. It would be good this time if the focus was Personal Responsibility. Blame the criminal. Punish the criminal. We’re all for that. But for goodness sake don’t punish law abiding citizens by making this about gun control.
Want proof that the media and state governments are ill informed? Read about the New York SAFE act… Do you know the difference between a “NY compliant rifle and a non-compliant one”? You might be surprised to know the difference has to do more with looks than function. The ‘grip’ can’t “conspicuously protrude”, you can’t have a bayonet lug, you can’t have a stock that adjusts to length (which makes shooting safer)…. but you’ll notice that nothing about the SAFE Act makes the gun “safe”. Some will point to the fact that NY limits magazine capacity to 10 rounds – but I’ll remind you that criminals IGNORE THE LAW so again… tell me how that makes it SAFE? So when you hear the politicians talk about “Common sense gun laws” and you see things like the NY SAFE ACT you realize two things. First, they don’t know about guns thus they don’t know how to make common sense laws. Second, all the laws in the world don’t stop criminals from being criminal. So if you’re going to join the conversation, at least know some basic facts about guns and the unintended consequences of having the wrong conversation.
If you’ve been thinking about customizing your firearm, Cerakote is something worth looking into. I recently had one of my M&P Shield’s done and thought I’d share my experience with you.
First, if you’re not familiar with Cerakote is one of several options for ‘painting’ a firearm and the internet can provide you with endless details on all the options. For me, I did lots of reading and decided Cerakote was the best option. Why? It seems to have all the things I wanted… abrasion/wear resistance, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, impact strength and hardness. All things that contribute to a long lasting, reliable firearm.
Cerakote is a polymer-ceramic coating that can be applied to metal, plastic, polymers and wood making it a great option for firearms. It’s applied using a very specific process and results in an ultra-thin finish that won’t change typical tolerances meaning your firearm will reassemble and function perfectly! While the process isn’t complicated, a first time do-it-yourselfer is better off having it done for them by a certified Cerakote Applicator. In fact, that’s what I did… I worked with a professional… Tom’s Custom Coatings. (tomscustomguns.com)
The whole thing was actually quite simple and started off with completion of a simple form on their website describing what I wanted done. I provided information about the firearm, uploaded an image and a few words about the 2nd Amendment ‘badge’, the stars & stripes pattern I wanted and submitted. The next day I received a call from Tracey at Toms Custom Guns, and we chatted about my project. Tracey’s goal was to ensure success right from the start and that included a real understanding about the look I wanted, positioning of the image and color. From there, Tom took the next few days to fully disassemble the firearm, prepare it, and complete the Cerakote process. He sent me pictures of the completed firearm and called to talk through the end result making sure I was happy…. which I am! Very happy. They did a great job on both quality of the work AND the customer service.
This was my first Cerakote experience but I can tell you it won’t be my last. I’m in the process of selecting a design scheme for an AR-15 to feature on MannoFirearms.com. I’m thinking about a complete and custom package… AR-15, Optic, Light and Bi-pod all in matching Cerakote. Visit MannoFirearms.com, perhaps when it’s done you’ll be the lucky buyer!
So if you’re thinking about customizing your firearm consider Cerakote from Tom’s Custom Guns. Take a look at Tom’s website and if you decide to use his service, please let him know you’re a customer of Manno Firearms. I’m sure he and Tracey will do a great job for you too!

I had the opportunity to take a closer look at the Daniel Defense DD5 Ambush chambered in 7.62/308. After spending some time with this I can see why its one of the hardest to find in stock.
Right out of the case you get the sense that this is a quality rifle… no rattles, comfortable to grip and outstanding to look at. The fit and finish is what you would expect from Daniel Defense. The barrel is CHF, uses DD’s Superior Suppression Device and features an incredible Realtree hydro-graphic pattern. At 8.6 lbs it’s quite light for a 7.62 and is well balanced when holding. The Magpul hardware and adjustable length ensure the right fit for just about any shooter. Ensuring flawless operation the Ambush is fed with an optimized bolt carrier group with a new geometry and super-slick, low friction coating for reliable feeding. The Geissele 2-stage trigger provides a smooth and clean action and lets you take advantage the all the great engineering that went into this rifle – making every shot!
Since you can get the full list of features and specifications online, I won’t list them all here. But I will say if you’re in the market for a high quality 7.62/308, this is one to look at! Checkout MannoFirearms.com for more information on buying one!
I can’t wait to get this one pointed down range and on target!
The rifles from Daniel Defense are known for their high quality and reliability. Their excellent reputation as a manufacturer is one of the reasons that their customers include the armed forces of the Untied States and law enforcement agencies at the Federal, State, and local levels.
