Click the above link, put in your serial #, it will tell you if it is part of the recall.
Sorry, I misread your post. I sure if you call they will tell you. I would rest assured they took care of it. Its nothing they want to F around with.

The recall is only to replace the firing pin with a lighter one, and the firing pin spring with a heavier one. The new firing pin has a dull brushed silver finish, (titianium) IIRC, the old firing pin was more of a shiny chrome like finish. I had an issue with my barrel wrench handle getting loose. They replaced the screw with a different one and left a note that that change was made.
Looks like the magnet test passes. Thanks for all of the replies.
I still suspect that more was done to the acr for the recall. When I was on the phone with Bushmaster about sending the acr back, they insisted that I send the entire rifle back.

Actually, they wanted all the complete rifles back. Maybe they were checking for other issues that showed up during internal testing and wanted to be sure they were not out on the street. (Just thinking out loud)
Didn't even think about the magnet, NICE!!

I believe you are correct. It is the only thing that makes sense. IMHOBM has a bunch of lawyers on their staff.... liability prevented them from letting monkeys like us do our own upgradeI think the spring what changed form what I read here. Somebody scream at me if I'm mistaken.

lol thanks again man, i'd hope i'm that lucky, i'm going to try to call them this week and see if i can snag one, i figure if i can cut up the rifle's operating system and make it cool then i think i've earned the right to install my firing pin myself... that and i'd like some more pieces to make more conversions =)

i talked to bm yesterday, the supervisor is supposed to call me sometime to discuss them sending me a fire pin, the person who answered the phone seemed pretty cool about me chopping the rifle and said i could send it in though but he sounded like they probably would send me it instead...

When I called them back in October, they were unmovable on just sending parts. Like said elsewhere on the forum, I'm sure it is lawyer driven. If nothing more to verify that all the heavy firing pins are returned and disposed of.

i'm not to worried about it honestly, ill probably buy a parts gun and snag it out of one of those, next on the list is a dmr type rifle
I saw a youtube video where this guy had a lot of problem running 5.56 on his ACR. Eventually he got BM to fix his ACR with a new gas regulator that fix the 5.56 issue. When I got my ACR back from BM for the recall, I was expecting a new gas regulator, new firing pin and firing pin spring. But it was only new firing pin and fring pin spring.
