kahrak 2 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 1) ACE is recalling all Folding Stock Mechanisms (P#FSM & P#FSM-SMG) shipped after 22 September 2006. Said FSM has a groove machined on the back of the large side of the FSM. If you have one of these please return it to ACE to exchange it for a new one. The groove that the tooth locks into on the large side of the FSM was machined oversized. Our quality Assurance did not catch this flaw. When the stock is extended, it will be able to wiggle form side to side up to 5 degrees left and right. We do not feel this is a dangerous condition; it is just not up to ACE's quality standards. I have one of the ones with the groove that they are talking about (there's a picture on their site), but there's no wobble to speak of in mine so I'm going to keep it, but I thought I'd give you guys the heads up. They also have something posted about the missing pins on some of their stocks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE_HUNTER 2 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 What site is that on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 I need to call them on that issue. Even 3 weeks after they put that on their website, their new hinges that just arrived still have that groove in them. They don't wobble. There were some that wobbled a bit earlier, but the groove in the back is completely irrelevant as to which ones actually wobble. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kahrak 2 Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) Thanks for clearing that up Tony, they make it sound like all of the grooved ones have the wobble, and mine certainly doesn't. HUNTER, they have the announcement on their homepage at www.riflestocks.com. Edited January 22, 2007 by kahrak Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kahrak 2 Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 The slot is underneath where the stock itself attaches to the folding mechanism, you have to take the 2 hex bolts that hold on the stock off in order to see if the slot is there or not.
