involved in Fire Control...which makes me wonder if it was just
a simple design issue...or again, maybe a mis-spec'ed run of parts...

But the amount of times it has happened with the 15-22 at events is enough
to say it's far from a knee-jerk reaction. It's a serious problem.

IF ANYONE HAS ANY DOUBTS about their rifle,
call S&W, have them send you a label, and send it in for repair.
Evidently the new parts prevent the chance of run-away from ever happening again.
Maybe I missed something, but the only instance of a runaway gun that I saw in the Appleseed announcement was one that one of their instructors monkeyed with?
