Saw that. Glad I resisted the temptation to jump right into one of them.
Odd that they don’t give any details. Perhaps they’re not entirely convinced there’s actually an issue, or maybe they are wondering how they’re gonna pay to resolve it. One would think that such a drastic change in their rifle line would’ve been overseen in such a way that this wouldn’t happen. At any rate, just telling their customers to not shoot the new rifles isn’t going to be a good strategy for long.
What fresh Hell is this?

That's not gonna win over new fans... indefinite and unexplained order to stop using rifles...
Maybe if they'd just used the design they already know works...

Sounds like Colt (of old) is influencing CZ more than CZ is influencing Colt.

Assuming an unintentional discharge was reported and they're working like hell to see if they can replicate it before issuing a recall? The problem is they've created such a bad optic with the mystery message that even if they say, "turned out to be nothing," the damage to trust is done.

Update from CZ: "CZ 600 rifles were designed to allow the users to replace the barrels themselves to change the caliber. CZ-USA has learned that if the barrel is improperly installed, it is possible that the rifle could still be fired, but potentially result in a catastrophic failure. CZ-USA will correct this issue by permanently installing the barrels in CZ 600 rifles. As a result, the barrels on CZ 600 rifles will no longer be interchangeable. CZ-USA understands that this solution may not be acceptable to some of our customers, in which case we will issue a full refund upon presentation of a valid receipt for the purchase of your rifle."https://cz600recall.com/

Yikes.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the tooling for those was worn out and they took the opportunity to go CNC with the new ones rather than re-tool.

Thread lock and barrel replacement by authorized service centers. Bold typeface added by me: "To prevent the possibility of death or serious personal injury, you should immediately stop using your CZ 600 rifle and do not fire it until it has been returned to CZ for inspection and to have the barrel screws affixed with thread lock." "To minimize the risk of improper assembly, barrel replacement and caliber conversions are now available only through authorized service centers. The replacement or removal of the barrel outside of the authorized service centers will void the warranty." https://www.czub.cz/en/support-recall/I don't have an issue voiding the warranty, however I thought aftermarket support for this rifle series would be pretty slim to begin with. I wonder if any companies other than CZ will offer replacement barrels now.

They'll never share but it would be fascinating to know how many of these sold and how many actually come back for a full refund.
