Hunter007 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 So I sent my shotgun back for repairs it suffered from light primer strikes. I'm assuming a new spring and pin is what needed to be change it's been 2 weeks already . Like to have it back before small game ends at least Very annoying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 13 days would be my limit then I'd just go buy a new one, maybe two just in case the first one went tits up. What was the manufacture of the first? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter007 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 I avoided sending it back for while thinking it would fix itself after using it no such luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Nicky Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) It does not matter who I buy a gun from, the last 6 shotguns I bought (all brand new) went back to the factory for some adjustment or another. Best to buy it in the summer, work all the bugs out, and the inevitable shipment back to the factory. But the answer is it could take a couple months, in some cases. Hope you get it back soon!

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yea but how hard is it to build a single shot shotgun that works reliable. So I figured I take a chance on it . The metal work and Finnish were good . Even my FFL was surprised at how good for the price . But looks like they did the cheap on the guts insides . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a crazy amount 30 40 maybe I think it never got better and in the cold seemed like it got worse was like hitting the lottery if the thing went off .

ny hunter Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 It all depends on how busy they are...I had to wait up 7 months and had a gun returned to me in 2 weeks.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveboone Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 First step would be to thoroughly degrease it / clean the inside action, then lightly relube it, then field test it again. Where did you send it for repairs? Keep in mind standard ups shipping is going to be who knows how many days there, and then returned, don't count week ends, and of course, you did call them ahead of time and got an estimate on the turnaround, right?

Buckmaster7600 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 From what I’ve heard on other forums it will be a few months unless something has changed. It’s a new company that’s doing the repairs and there has been growing pains.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
