[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1077013, member: 42308"] Spoke with the Winchester service center in Missouri (800-322-4626) this morning about the rifle. I have purchased my last rifle from their corporation, the "warranty" is a complete farce. I spoke with a tech (Matt) and a supervisor (Dallas), they consider it to be "modified" and will not warranty the rifle in any way. The addition of a professionally fit muzzle device to attach my suppressor, and a professional bedding job BEFORE a single shot was fired has, "modified the rifle in a detrimental fashion that voids all warranties." Even though the rifles trigger, bolt or safety has not been modified in any fashion from the factory settings. Long story short, according to the technical supervisor, "the addition of an optic or sling could even be considered a 'modification', unless installed at the factory, or by their service center, and could void the warranty", govern yourselves accordingly when making your next purchasing decisions... The rifle in question has the "new" MOA trigger (unmodified) and has fired exactly 171 rounds since new. At round 171 it suddenly demonstrated an accidental discharge when switching the safety to the fire position. Subsequently, the rifle expresses this instantaneous firing pin release every time it is switched to the "fire" position. It maybe a good idea to have your rifle checked by a professional or just have the trigger replaced. [/QUOTE]
