Not quite a recall but it sounds like Hogue will be replacing the stocks on these rifles; models 7130 and 7179. Here's part of a letter to distributors from Hogue printed on page 92 of January's Rifle magazine:
It has come to our attention that a very small number of Hogue Overmolded synthetic rifle stocks for these firearms may exhibit weakness in the pistol grip area. In some circumstances, this can cause the stock to break in that location.
Although the problem is not hazardous, Hogue fully stands behind its products and is replacing the stocks at no charge...........
.......To replace the stock, Hogue requires the name and address of all customers that have purchased this rifle. Please provide this list as soon as possible to facilitate the replacement........
.........Your customer will be sent a new stock with instructions to remove the original Hogue stock and replace it with the new one. There is no need for the customer to return the old stock or the gun to us.....
Looks like you get a new stock Gatehouse
and this will all be handled through the retailers over the next while.
