Enjoy life, your last sleep is a long one.
Had one done a while back. No issues
Had mine done last fall. Quick & smooth.

What is this upgrade? I like upgrades.
Not an upgrade, it's a recall to replace bolt partsOriginally Posted by Lucas269
Epps is currently waiting on parts from Weatherby to finish ones currently in the shop and future ones that come in.
I sent mine last fall to Sports World Inc., Tulsa, Oklahoma (918) 742-4027 as per S&W instructions (I had the version that HOWA built for S&W). Turnaround was about 2 weeks. They mail you a package which includes customs declaration. Unfortunately you're on the hook for shipping it there. They cover the return.

Vanguard Safety Notice
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICEVANGUARD® BY WEATHERBY RIFLE
Weatherby, Inc. of Paso Robles, California, is performing a safety upgrade on all Vanguard® by Weatherby brand rifles manufactured between the years 1970 to 1993.
The affected rifles bear serial numbers from one of the following series on the receiver: 00001 through 03810; V00001 through V80966; VX00001 through VX44065; VS00001 through VS23699; VL00001 through VL46984; W0001 through W0099; NV0001 through NV0099. The safety upgrade will replace the bolt sleeve to prevent misassembly of the bolt, which might occur on the affected rifles. Such misassembly might result into a hazardous condition in which the rifle can be accidentally discharged without the bolt being fully engaged, causing severe injury.
WARNING : If you own a Vanguard® by Weatherby rifle with a serial number from one of the serial number series referred to above: USE OF YOUR RIFLE MAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AND SEVERE INJURY. STOP USING YOUR RIFLE IMMEDIATELY and click on this link http://www.weatherby.com/vanguardsafety/registration to receive a Bolt Return Kit. Only the bolt sleeve is being upgraded. Your bolt will be returned to you after the upgrade. If you do not have web access, call Weatherby at 1-800-227-2018 to receive a Bolt Return Kit.
I sent mine Dec. 10, 2016. Received Mar. 30, 2017.

Weatherby was extremely slow getting epps those parts.
