Below I am posting the body of an email I received today from Gem Tech regarding a recall on a certain lot number of their .30 cal suppressors...If you've bought a Gem-Tech can within the last two years, (2011-2012) then you need to read this and check your serial numbers...this could lead to catastrophic failure!
Dear Gemtech Customers,
Gemtech has recently identified a few samples from a specific lot of 7.62mm suppressors that had incomplete weld penetration, and so in an abundance of caution, we are voluntarily recalling all the serial numbers from the affected lot for inspection and re-welding where necessary. We are firmly committed to safety and customer service and this inspection will be at no charge to our clients.
POTENTIALLY AFFECTED PRODUCT SERIAL NUMBERS:
SANDSTORM:
ONLY SERIAL NUMBERS
S11-49511 through S11-49647

ONLY SERIAL NUMBERS
S11-49353 through S11-49452

If you have any of these suppressors in your inventory, please discontinue use and immediately email or fax us* with your business name and an email or fax number so we can provide you with a pre-paid UPS shipping label and a Return Authorization form.
EMAIL: techstaff@gem-tech.com
FAX: (208) 939-7804
* Please do not call our Idaho Sales Office
Print out and fill in the form with your serial number and your return address information, and send the suppressor and cover letter at no charge using the UPS shipping label to the GEMTECH-Michigan factory address. (Do not send to any of our Idaho addresses.)
There is no need to process a Form 3 or 5 to send this to GEMTECH-Michigan.
There is no need to change anything with the process of any pending Form 4's if your customer has a Form 4 transfer already in process.
We understand that this inspection comes at an inconvenient time and we are working hard to ensure that everyone receives their product back as quickly as possible. Gemtech assures you that we remain firm in our commitment to leading in providing superior service and safety to the suppressor industry, and thank you for your understanding and continued support.
