I have Rugers, Remingtons, Smith&Wessons, and even a Charter Arms. Have returned items to all of these... They all fixed them and sent them back.. S&W even fixed a TC Contender they didn't make. Did it Free of charge. They came to the house and picked it up. Brought it back too!! Nobody is perfect.. Just ask my wife..
What saddens me is the demise of the regional gunsmith that could repair any and all. We used to have a gunsmith in Augusta that was factory authorized/certified to fix Remington, Colt, Ruger, Winchester, etc.. He died, and along with him, local gun repair died too. Everything goes back to the factory now... UPS/FEDEX are the big winners there..
What l have had the most trouble with recently are makers of reloading equipment and components..(all in the past year).. Mislabeled primers that were large rifle rather than large pistol.. Sleeve said Pistol, boxes inside said Rifle. This can pretty expensive when you buy ten thousand primers at a time.. Then wont return my calls... Press with a broken handle after only 3 years of use. No return call either... Thank goodness GunBroker sells press handles as well as guns ... Bought a defective NEW aftermarket trigger recently.. A World Renowned gun maker said it would not adjust... Trigger people said, ''We don't make bad triggers''.. Likely the trigger guy is mad because the gun maker quit buying their sorry triggers!!
