Dumb, no. In denial, yes. I'm having a hard time accepting that the machine operator could screw up the threads that bad and not notice, that the finisher could not notice, and thay the assembler could not notice. From ANY company. However, after looking closer and seeing the chip in the threads it does seem to be a tooling/machine problem.  |

I received an email this afternoon from HK with a tracking number for a new replacement barrel. The invoice stated "Inspected barrel. Found threads incorrectly timed to barrel.
Replaced out of spec. barrel." I have no complaints about HK customer service now! I appreciate them making things right! |

That's good. Are they sending you a barrel that they duplicated the SN onto so you don't have a parts mixed gun?

I don't think they copied your original serial number. It will be on the left side probably. Be sure to keep your documentation to explain the different serials. I have two .40 caliber Glocks with three different serial numbers (frame, slide, and barrel).

New barrel will most likely not have a serial number.

HK stated in the other thread: "Replacement barrels will have a serial number on the opposite side of the barrel. This is for import reasons only. Whenever the slide or barrel is replaced it will not have the original serial number."
I did receive the replacement barrel and it is exactly as described above. The threads on the barrel, however, are perfect! |

I've been following this thread from it's inception.
Hell, I even followed on the HK pro forum Glad all has worked out for you OP Just today picked up a USP 45 Tac. Won't know if the threads are fucked up until I can afford a can. 
Sounds like HK doesn't hate Americans after all.

Glad to hear this had a positive outcome. HK's CS gets an underserved reputation often from those with no experience.
