BROWNING
MODEL BUCK MARK,
22 CALIBER, PISTOL BOX
RECALL: Browning is recalling all Buck Mark 22 Pistol boxes sold between January of 1992 to present.
In 2011, Colt reintroduced the previously discontinued Mustang Pocketlite, along with the Colt Mustang XSP in 2013, a polymer frame version with an updated design.” Checking the Colt website at www.colt.com / serial - lookup, I found my Mustang’s serial number shows a 1993 production date. Nov 28, 2007 I just purchased a Colt MK IV/Series 80 Mustang-380, serial number MU51120 nickel plated. The guy I bought it from bought it in 2000. Manufacture date should be between 1990 and 1994.
THIS RECALL IS FOR THE BOX ONLY. DO NOT SEND YOUR BUCK MARK PISTOL. RETURN ONLY THE BOX FOR REPLACEMENT.
DO NOT PLACE YOUR BUCK MARK 22 PISTOL IN A BOX TO BE RECALLED.
NEVER PLACE ANY LOADED GUN IN ANY CASE. THIS IS A BASIC RULE OF SAFETY.
Do not use the box until it has been replaced by Browning. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury or death to yourself or others.
In all cases, only the original Buck Mark box is to be returned. Please call our office and inform us which box you own.
When we receive your call we will verify and record which box you own. If you have a box to be recalled, you will be sent a special Buck Mark Box Recall Kit to expedite the return and replacement of your Buck Mark box.
We apologize for this inconvenience. There will be no charge for the replacement and all shipping costs will be prepaid by Browning.

BRYCO ARMS
MODEL 38,
380 AUTO CALIBER SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL
WARNING: These pistols may create an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION and a POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY by firing when dropped.
This model pistol trigger/disconnector bar and sear level may have too small a gap between them such that a sharp movement of the slide rearward could cause the weapon to discharge without the trigger being pulled.
The discharge is created by the moving slide impacting the disconnector and driving the trigger bar/disconnector rearward into the cam lever before it can pivot downward and out of alignment.

BRYCO ARMS
Model Jennings Nine,
9mm LUGER caliber Semiautomatic Pistol
WARNING: These pistols may create an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION and a POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY by firing without pulling the trigger.
During the testing of a Bryco Arms, Jennings Nine pistol by a forensic firearms examiner it was noted that it would fire upon release of the thumb safety and spontaneously fire in a FULL AUTO MODE on an inconsistent bases. When loaded with the manual thumb safety in the “safe” position, if the trigger of the submitted firearm has been pulled stiffly a few times, the firearm will discharge when the thumb safety is moved to the “fire” position.
Disassembly of the pistol revealed some wear/damage to the sear which allows slight downward movement when the trigger is pulled. It appears due to the wear/damage the sear/striker engagement is reduced allowing the striker to override the sear after the thumb safety is released.
MANUALLY UNLOADING THIS PISTOL MAY BE VERY DANGEROUS SINCE IT COULD DISCHARGE DURING THIS PROCEDURE.

The Calico M-100 and M-100P will consistently SLAM FIRE when live cartridges are manually loaded directly into the chamber and the bolt is allowed to go forward under its own spring tension. At no time during this process does the trigger need to be pulled for discharge. These SLAM FIRES occur with the safety in the ON or OFF positions.
The SLAM FIRES described only occur when a cartridge is placed directly into the chamber and the bolt released forward under its own spring tension.
