Versa Max had a recall on them.
Yes, there was a recall and that issue has been taken care of. Below is the actual recall notice supporting your post so people know what the recall was about.
From Remington
Safety Warning And Recall Notice
Product Recall Notice
Warning
DO NOT USE YOUR REMINGTON VERSA MAX SHOTGUN
Remington has found that a limited number of its Versa Max shotguns may have hammers out of specification. This condition may result in inconsistent firearm performance. Inconsistent firearm performance may result in property damage, serious personal injury or death.
If you have a Remington Versa Max shotgun immediately discontinue use of the shotgun and contact Remington at 1-800-243-9700, Prompt #4. Remington will arrange for the return shipment of your Versa Max shotgun and upon receipt will immediately inspect and retrofit your Versa Max shotgun and return it to you at no cost to you. All Versa Max shotguns that have the hammer enhancement will contain a "V" stamped that can be seen by looking in the ejection port or through the carrier.
From what I understand, apparently a CNC machine was set incorrectly, which resulted in approx 1000 hammers cut slightly out of spec. The guns that were affected seemed to work fine, but Remington recalled them anyway. I believe all the guns that were out of spec have been fixed and the ones on the market for purchase are not the ones under recall now.
This gun really is a pleasure to shoot. So far any load any time, it just does not care. It is easy to break down for cleaning with minimal parts. I am really rooting for Big Green on this. An American company producing the gun completely in America.
