I'm looking at a new CZ 600 Alpha in 224 Valkyrie. I know there's a safety recall to make the barrel a permanent installation.

But I've also read this:
For a new CZ 600 with the original barrel:

• Safety: The original barrel and its installation are safe and unaffected by the recall.
• Use: You can safely use the rifle as intended.
• Modification: Avoid any modifications to the barrel or its attachment system, as this could compromise safety.

Has anyone purchased one and never sent it in?

purchased a CZ600 Range in .308win and never sent it in... I did look though at the screws that they're thread locking into place and that was done on mine. From my understanding it's a really stupid recall on par with if you as a manufacture sold an AR15 that the barrel nut was so lose the barrel could move forward slightly and just pretend that could cause a catastrophic failure, then blaming the design. allegedly, the example that failed and injured someone in testing, hadn't been assembled correctly. In truth there's not enough confirmed facts to know, as CZ hasn't been very open about it. I shoot mine with confidence though, she's a shooter and I'm not shooting gallery loads. (not bubba's pissing hot loads either) Understanding how the lockup works on this rifle though, I'm not worried.

(the main theory is that the bolts that lock the barrel into place weren't torqued, and as the rifle that failed was being test fired and worked up to a proof load, which is what it failed on, the barrel had slid forward enough that the cartridge wasn't actually locked up in the chamber. The bolt can and will hold onto the case, so the firing pin will strike the primer with enough force to initiate easily. However if the bolt head hasn't actually got into the barrel and locked up on close.... yeah, that pressure spike has a lot of um room to go wherever it want's. 6 bolt lugs don't do any good if they're not actually in the barrel to lock up.
