Guys, I would like for you to be careful when buying used rifles. Twice now I have spoken to customers who bought used XCRs that were trashed and sold as "good condition". Basically, these rifles were in need of the upgrades in the early XCRs, and the customers failed to take care of the problem. We have signed certified letters from sending upgrade notices to these people (several times!) and were repeatedly ignored despite our best efforts.
So please, be careful when buying a used XCR. Contact me with the serial number, and I can tell you if the rifle needs anything or has had upgrades completed if it did need them. That last thing I want is for you to invest a ton of money into a rifle, only to have to turn around and send it back to us for a complete overhaul. Nobody wants to be ripped off, and unfortunately, the world is not nearly as full of good people as it should be.
Just make sure you contact me before buying used rifles - Most of the time, I probably know the seller on a first name basis... But like I said, not everyone is trustworthy, and I just want to keep you all happy and your rifles in 100% condition.
These upgrades do not apply to rifles with the new style bolts and gas systems. If the serial number is higher than XL00700+, the upgrades are not needed. There is a list on the website of rifles potentially needing the upgrades. All owners have been contacted - but many choose to ignore us.
