[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1474985, member: 96226"] Repair of manufactured goods these days usually means sending a replacement rather than repair. Repair means they have to take it apart, find the problem, fix it, then find any other problems and fix those too. It's an expense for them requiring their more senior people to burn labor hours that they'd just as soon avoid. Sending a new gun will cost them less money in the end and be just as likely to return a working product. I know a few people that work(ed) in major gun maker factories and the tales you hear from those guys would curl your toes. Cheater bars to set headspace, hand files where a lathe might be appropriate, etc... Good luck. I'm sure it'll come back working fine. Shame you had the issue to begin with. The prior owner almost certainly knew about it and instead of dealing with the issue he kicked the can down the road. Super unethical. If I buy a busted one, I'd at least have it fixed before passing the problem down the road. [/QUOTE]
