Colt’s Manufacturing Company LLC (“Colt”) has recently learned of a potential safety issue with its CBX bolt-action rifles. Both the CBX Precision and CBX Tac Hunter models are affected. Colt is voluntarily initiating a recall of these rifles because of the potential for an unintentional discharge of the rifle, without pulling the trigger, under certain conditions when the manual safety is disengaged.
To prevent the possibility of death or serious personal injury, Colt asks anyone who owns a CBX rifle to immediately stop using it and return it to Colt.
Colt has learned that, for some CBX rifles, if the trigger is pulled while the manual safety is engaged (in the “safe” position), the trigger may not fully reset. This could result in an unintentional discharge of the rifle when the manual safety is moved to the “fire” position, without a further pull of the trigger.
Consumers who own a Colt CBX rifle, should visit coltcbx.com, for information about returning their rifles to Colt for a refund or replacement option. Consumers may also contact Colt Customer Service by email at [email protected], or by telephone at 1-800-962-2658 weekdays from 9:00am to 4:00pm (Eastern) and select the CBX recall option at the main menu.
Retailers with remaining inventory who purchased CBX rifles from a distributor should return those rifles back to the distributor. Retailers and distributors with remaining inventory who purchased CBX rifles directly from Colt should contact their Colt Sales Team representative.
Colt values its relationship with all its customers and partners and sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
