Cabelas just called me, they want the SKS I bought back.

I don't believe Century was the main Chinese SKS importer.
None of mine were Century-marked & in their heyday those things were coming in from all over the place.

I'm surprised to hear that Century did any kind of recall, since the guns were what they were, did what they did, and in selling for $100 per (and less), doing a recall & retrofit would quickly have killed off any profit in the things for the company.
Illogical for them to feel there was any kind of "defect" in a military design that was widely produced, or to feel there was sufficient liability on their part to justify such an R&R.
Never heard of it.

What was the source of that info?

The liability due to selling a demonstrably unsafe product would far greater than the profit lost from a recall. Juries tend to take a very dim view of your actions If you fail to take action knowing that a product is defective.

Remember the Ford Pinto gas tank? If not, go look it up.

Some of you are correct, I did not know what demilitarized meant, but I did ask, and the guy on the other end said he did not know. Also, from my local board they were called by different people, including a woman who said, please call the store asap, not return to the store asap as I was told.

The store is 70 miles each way from me, in Lacey Washington which is about 70 miles from Seattle. This entire thread is:
1: about how I was contacted, and what was said to me and to return the rifle to the store, not get checked out, not be inspected, but to return the rifle. I even asked, will it be replaced and he said he was not sure.

2: The confusion of not getting a caller ID number and wondering who was messing around.
3: The idea that they do keep info. I was always told that when an FFL calls your info in, it was not kept on file with the government, I never knew that any of it was kept a certain amount of time, especially from a store like Cabelas. So shoot me if I learned something new, but you don't have to trash my thread, or my person for not knowing about something.

Maybe we are not all as smart as you. I bet I know a few things some of you don't, like I try not to act like a <deleted> on the Internet because I can.

I try not to act like a <deleted> on the Internet because I can.

Good heavens, I don't think anyone accused you of doing so!

If all the questions are answered, should we close this?
