walks in
HI bought a pistol here about a month ago, can you guys send it backto the manufacturer and have it repaired?"
Sure, what' s wrong with it?"
ands me pic related"
What did you do?"
HI was reloading, and I guess I the powder..."
kl examine the gun
is completely blown out
Grudging from the lead shavings all down the entire length ofthe barrel, he also used a bullet that was too big forthe bore
Asstractor is snapped off, most of it is missing
slide is cracked from the chamber all the way to the front sight
frame is cracked and bulging outward
searchs sticking out the side ofthe gun
right grip panel is bulged outward
said he couldn' t find where the magazine went, but he found about havethe rounds that were in it
Llucky *************** away with nothing worse than a scorch mark across the back of his hand, no further injury
case is still stuck in the chamber, ehwhat' s left of it
I' m pretty sure that every single component ofthis pistol is beyond repair."
Do you think Stoeger will replace it?"
maybe? ffyou don' t mention that you were using reloads?"
floss looks at it, shakes his head, and sticks it in a botto mail it backto the manufacturer
Holy ****, there are some stupid people. If you can follow a recipe out ofa cookbook, you can reload. This dumb son ofa bitch couldn' t pour water out of a boot if the instructions were printed on the sole.
Gun is a Stoeger Cougar, for the record.
