If you are considering retrofitting the Continuum barrel system to the earlier Crown, don't think that will happen, too much machine work involved. And regarding a recall, I don't remember that ever occurring in the firearm or air gun industry, except when a safety issue was discovered. Otherwise, there is nothing "wrong" with the old system, it just isn't a very good design. I see FX as one of those companies that lets (forces) their customers to do most of their R&D work. I bought a Crown with my eyes open, and frankly, didn't like the design. But, I was encouraged by owners' reports, so I jumped on the wagon. After about 6 months, I decided I had had enough fun, and bailed out. I realize there are many owners who love their Crown rifles, and appear to have no problems with them. I can only take my own counsel on it. I may learn slow, but I learn well.
What machining would it require? Inside the breech the hole is exactly the same and the brass and stainless steel part have exactly the same dimensions on the outside -> long story short: from the breech point of view nothing has changed.
The difference now is that the steel sleeve is removed, the liner is clamped in on the breech end of the barrel and the shroud is supported by the centering pieces on multiple points on the barrel.
