[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2441321, member: 30902"] I'm looking at the chamber spec's and I don't see where the rifle is out of spec. [URL unfurl="true"]https://saami.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ANSI-SAAMI-Z299.4-CFR-Approved-2015-12-14-Posting-Copy.pdf[/URL] Their guarantee is for factory ammo which seems to work just fine in the gun from what I can read. The chamber is manufactured "loose" to ensure extraction under all conditions. As for the brake, it's threaded for their proprietary muzzle devices so I see no issues there, when you buy a custom engineered piece of equipment you're marrying yourself to proprietary equipment unless told otherwise. I can't see how LaRue is liable here as long as the rifle is built to spec and as advertised. As for brass being from this rifle being unsafe to reload I'd need to see some source material supporting that but even if it is, the manufacturer is not responsible for producing reloadable brass once fired and ejected from the firearm. I'm sorry if he's unhappy with the rifle but I can't see any legal avenue for holding LaRue liable as long as the rifle meets the advertised spec's nor is it reasonable to expect a full refund for a used rifle that meets the manufacturer's spec's. While we may just assume that every rifle should produce reloadable brass once fired unless stated otherwise by the manufacturer, I don't see any way to hold them liable if we cannot reload expended brass. We can feel like it should be incumbent upon the manufacturer to state once fired brass is non reloadable if that is the case but there is no industry standard to that effect or anything in the law I've ever heard of establishing such a standard. As far as I can see they have met their obligations as a manufacturer and seller here even if we aren't happy with the outcome. The only thing I can see here that might be a possibility is to try and negotiate an exchange for a tighter chambered barrel at cost or to sell the rifle for what he can get and start over. [/QUOTE]
