The stamped letter F on the rear of the cylinder has nothing to do with the recall, this is what I've been told on the phone and in emails, I had a number of 624s and am pretty sure all had the F stamp, the three I presently own have the stamp for sure, two have boxes with the red circle and the one without box was not part of the recall. My guess is that the F stamp is part of the assembly process, my 66s have the letter V in the same place. It could also have been done to keep someone from trying to polish and blue stainless parts. I got no response on the phone when I mentioned I thought it was poor practice to mark a box and not the cylinder, the letters "OK" came to mind as a really simple solution. Based on what I would get in trade if the cylinder failed I would not send one back, not sure just what I would do with it but maybe a modified cylinder from a 629 would work.
