If the serial number of your Armalite Model AR-10, SPR MOD 1, SPR MOD 2, M15 or Eagle-15 falls outside of the above serial number range, you may ignore this notice.
Please follow the instructions listed below in the Customer Performed Diagnostic Test to determine if your rifle will need repair. This disconnector and the hammer issue could potentially be found in the AR-10, SPR MOD 1, SPR MOD 2, M15, Eagle-15 models built - and 16.
HOW TO DETERMINE IF YOUR RIFLE NEEDS SERVICE This is an important safety issue and we are therefore implementing a plan so that the affected rifles can be serviced and that the non-performing disconnectors and hammers can be replaced. A very small percentage of the rifles sold have been reported to have this condition. This, in turn, can result in an unsafe condition in which the rifle doubles (discharging twice when the trigger is pulled one time). We have determined that the disconnector and the hammer on some of our AR-10, SPR MOD 1, SPR MOD 2, M15, Eagle-15 Model rifles were not properly manufactured by third party vendors and that the disconnectors or hammers in those rifles can fail to ensure proper engagement of the hammer.
