***Response Safety Recall***

[Imshootin]

I noticed my buffer face yesterday and thought that it may be different. I wasn't sure because I hadn't taken any pix before sending the gun in. I found the pix NCBeagle previously posted of the internals of his and it may have confirmed my suspicion. My buffer face looks like it's been machined in a way that would let the buffer come out a little further which would, I'm thinking, close the bolt a little further. This may be their fix or part of it.
I'm not a gunsmith but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

Mine came this afternoon. Got delayed in Romulus on the way out for a day and another on the way back in Connecticut. So 2 extra days due to FedEx issues. Driver had to scan my ID (drivers license) to make sure it was being delivered to me. I've never had to do anything but sign before. Just finished putting all my stuff back on it (8 items I took off) so she's ready to go out for a test spin. No idea what they did to it. There's absolutely no information on the paperwork they sent with it. Does have the dash mark on each side of the 9mm marking on the bolt. That's about all I can tell you. Pretty quick and painless.

FedEx must have taken the 2 days from you and given them to me. Mine was supposed to be delivered Monday and instead they dropped it off today.

Imshootin,

Can tell if anything was done on the bolt or chambering?

Got the first of two back today, It appears to have a new bolt in it with the -9mm- on it, Paperwork doesn't explain what was replaced. It will be a few weeks before I can shoot it.

Uuuugh. I am just learning about this. Jeppo texted about the recall this evening. Obviously, mine is in the recall group. Posted the pics in Oct. 2023.

I’ll deal with it in a couple weeks. Actually, I am taking my Response to the SWCA Symposium next week. Part of the new product display. Would be great if the factory reps there could just bring a new bolt for me. That’s not likely an option. I do not have time to screw around with shipping a gun.

Why the heck did s&w not use a stand design AR9 bolt that's fool proof . Or start with there ar15 carbine design modifying the lower mag area or make there own adaptor for 9mm mag options AR9's. AR9's do have a long history behind them and s&w does not have a great history with QC new product testing . Oh well , good luck with your carbines .

I assembled a mixed parts AR9 10 years ago and its been 100% reliable .

Resurrecting an old post to share updates. I guess S&W assummed most of these rifles have been repaired. I recently purchased one from a local dealer (suporting my own back yard) only to find this one was part of the recall. Well I sent mine in immediately. Only put 100 rnds on it. After about a week of no word from S&W I called and was just told they received the Response but haven't lggedit in yet. Furthermore I was told the process will be about 3-4 weeks to get it repaired! Yikes!!! Now I need to reset my expectations.
