912

[dukY]

Well its the second time I have had to send in my BRAND NEW 912. Its been there alittle over a month and they still havent looked at it. When they got it they told me that it was a 3 week wait period, talked to them today and now its a 8 week wait period LOL My brand new gun keeps jamming on 2 3/4 through 3 1/2's. I have shot quite a few differant loads through it and it doesnt seem to matter.....

Keep on 'em duky.. they're human too.

I'm not making excuses for 'em but, only so much time in a day ya know.

just keep 'em in check and I'd ask for some answers real quick or have them replace it..

the gun should work w/o a flaw!

good luck w/it

one other thing...

what shells are you using? manufacturer?

[dukY]

I have shot federal,winchester,remington in all differant load sizes. I would think that gun should be able to shoot all of those easy. I wouldnt think a gun that shoots 3 1/2's would jam. They talked like they where going to just replace it. I hope because I bought a new gun and I dont want a new gun with replacement parts in it.

keep us updated ..

one other thing, remember, its not the size of the hull .. its the 'punch' they pack.

the reason I asked about the shells is that I have an older wingmaster that will not eject 3" Remington hulls. Some times guns have their little 'quirks' ya know..

Well they sent it back last friday suppose to get it back tomm. I was suppose to be called when a gunsmith looked at but that didnt happen they said if I wasnt happy with it too just send it back and they will take care of me LOL! She said they put a new reciever in it. HMMMM Replacement parts in a new gun. Just dont like that idea when you buy something new they have to go putting parts in it. I am kinda frustrated that they had no record of me ever calling.

[Jon Ramsey]

A replacement part is a new part that came off the same assembly line, and was made by the same tooling as all the other new parts. How do you think they make a new gun. They grab 1 part out of every bin and put them togeather. If they had sent you a brand new gun, it might have been the same replacement receiver along with 50 other brand new replacement parts.

[dukY]

You must work there... No reason to get mad I am just frustrated with the problems I had out of it.

DukY, I won't work there either, but there's nothing wrong with replacing parts, I just soon they would. I'm not going into my story about the 912 again, but I will say, even if you get a lemon they'll make it right. Or atleast the have in the past.
