I’ve recently purchased a Badger Ordnance rifle, M2008 action, McMillan A5 stock, timney trigger, and Bartlein barrel. I’ve read some old posts and there were problems that existed in the earlier badger m2008 actions. These were corrected in the the later generation actions. I was wondering how I could tell if mine is an earlier or later one. I don’t have any problem as of yet but I haven’t been to the range with it. So far it’s great, smooth as silk. The serial number is 0290 if that helps. Thanks, Randy
