Lucky Man! I have been in the gunsmith business for 16 years, I have sent more Taurus products back to Miami than I want to admit. I have banged heads with the head of customer service multiple times at SHOT Show. I do not stock Taurus in my inventory. Several years ago Taurus recalled all their...

Without inspecting the firearm, I suspect the "hood" at the top of the barrel is a mite long which catches the tip of the bullet preventing ejection. Some ammo, like FMJ, the tip is not truncated like a hollow point is. I have seen JMB 1911 design fail to eject a loaded round because the port is...

I think he never knew of my request. I figure someone in the Customer Service didn't want to have to give an excuse about the eff around to the GM & the head of Customer Service. The whole event smacked with incompetence people not willing to take an extra step/ make a suggestion on an...

S&W doesn't have a written or implied warranty either. It's just that they like Ruger stand behind their products. Now on the other hand the alternative is Taurus that has a "Lifetime Warranty", my last experience was a "Raging Bull" with the trigger pivot axle broken off in the frame. "Oh, we...

I recently had a M-15 (made in the 60s) brought to me for repair. The cylinder stop was so beveled on the side that the cylinder over rotated. Contacting S&W, giving the sn: the female customer service person said "oh, that firearm was made more than 25 years ago, we don't have parts for it." I...

Ruger doesn't have a written "Warranty" stated or implied. They do stand behind their products, except for the discontinued. I worked for GE Lighting Systems, we warranted our products for 10 years. The reason for 10 years we had a major portion of our products still operating after 40 years...

My favorite is spiced turnip greens, of course with corn bread.

Evidently there are two kinds of Solos, those that work and those that don't. The owner of the one with problems said he had two of them, the other is still working.

Evidently they no longer make that model too. I advise purchasing a replacement extractor and spring before they "run out". They are on Gun Broker at ridiculous prices...

I had a customer bring in a Kimber Solo that just started to fail to extract. I called Kimber requesting a replacement extractor spring. Guess what, Kimber no longer supports these POS. They will accept a trade based on MSRP of a current model if they have one in stock. The value of your POS...

I noticed after the bridge structure was removed with explosives the ship still has a "bow down" attitude. Does the remaining black top and underlying debris weigh more than the removed bridge structure? A bunch of the containers were removed too.

There is no such thing as an innocent insurance company. The State Insurance Commissioners are all on their payrolls. Insurance companies pay professionals to Welch on their obligations.

Ask your self, what is the “shop rate” at an auto repair shop. I am retired, I charge $40 per hour I have no overhead expenses except electricity for my shop. A thorough cleaning without full disassembly on most firearms takes about an hour. If the barrel is leaded up, may take longer, if the...
