WOW!! I'm at a loss for words! If I owned one of those rifles I would try to get a refund from Mossberg! If that didn't work out I would cut it up and throw it in the dumpster so no one could get hurt with it!! Whats up with Mossberg? Are they just ignoring this? This is going to blow up in their face!! No pun intended!

The Winchester is similarly done but with a difference. Second; because the cam is cut into both pieces, should the joint fail while closing the bolt, the Winchester cannot fire with an unlocked bolt (advantage; Winchester.
+1 I was once running my hunting loads through a Win Model 70, when to my surprise the bolt handle ended up in my hand with a live round in the chamber. The solder joint failed. I drove out to the range figuring I would just pull the trigger and mail it back to Winchester. No way a Winchester fires with the bolt unlocked. Had to take it to the gunsmith with a live round down the tube. He removed the round and sent the gun back to Winchester for repairs.

in answer to what Mossberg is doing--they are simply throwing rotton tomatoes on the victim--digging up dirt that he had a small--and legal amount of alcohol in his system at the time (per the hospital records at most he had .03 when the impairment rating is .08)--asking any enemys he has about him--talking to his ex-wife
3 100 ATRs all owned or used a matter of days
all 3 exploded
We will see what the jury says in April

I dont claim to know much about the functioning of the Mossberg 100 ATR--other than what i have painfully aborbed from my experts that are forced to repeat themselves to me because of my slow learning curve without any background in this area --but greydog looks like he is right on point, and it helps me to see the written email he did in understanding the difference between the Mossberg Bolt Action and the other models of bolt action rifles
Any input from you gun gurus is greatly appreciated

Well, if Mossberg is just looking for why the rifles caused injury I don't blame them, as there could be factors we don't know about. On the other hand, if it's a design/part failure, they need to be held responsible for putting a flawed product of this nature on the market.
I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.

The maverick is a stripped down version of the model 500. They are fine and a proven design. I have 2 model 500s a 12 and 20. They perform nicely and are easy to maintain.
On the other hand I'm really disappointed in how this is being handled by Mossberg. I hope they change their approach to the problem otherwise I will not be buying anymore of their products.

Did mossberg modify the bolt or recall the rifles? What happened to the lawsuit and attorney Holt?
Love your neighbor as yourself. Do not take into account a wrong suffered. Never return evil for evil. Resist not the violent man. Turn the other cheek, go the second mile, give to him that asks.

I am late to this discussion. Ms Holt is representing a client who was injured and her search for information is completely ethical. Thirty odd years ago I represented a 16 year old who lost an eye shooting a Marlin 39A. A case head burst because of insufficient support from the bolt face and brass and gas came back out the rear of the breech. This was long before the internet, I ran ads in Shotgun News and found similar accidents had occurred with this rifle. Eventually the case came on for a two week trial in Federal court in Manhattan and there was a substantial recovery.

Yes, but people are wondering what has happened as Attorney Holt has not posted since Jan. 14.
