Has anyone here ever returned a defective firearm to Davidsons under their lifetime guarantee? I am seriously considering taking them up on their offer. Some of you will know what weapon I'm talking about from previous threads. I need to know how I'd go about doing the return, and will they refund the money (doubtful)or will they send me an identical unit? And can I go directly through Davidsons or must I locate the nomadic gunshow dealer who sold me the thing? Thanks for the advice. RyanG |

Yeah, no complaints here. About two years ago I bought Colt that kept wandering all over the place. After going nuts trying to figure out WTF was going on for a week, I realized that the barrel was trying to rotate. It wasn't Colt's fault, I finally found a crack in the upper receiver on one side of the indexing slot. It was from an out of state dealer, so I tried Davidsons first just for the hell of it, & they said to send them the whole thing including the bolt. I had the new one a week later. I didn't really expect them to exchange it - someone just beat the crap out of the rifle during shipping (The index pin on the barrel was banged up too). I think UPS did the damage, & should've paid for it, but if there was a complaint filed at all, Davidsons took care of it. |
| It's a carbon-15... this is the second time I'll have had to send it back, this time for a bent gas tube and total failure to operate. I guess I got one of the early models cuz the sucker has never worked right. I want a colt or bushmaster preban if I can find a decent deal on one. So if I can return this one to davidsons and they send me a new one.. I can sell that one as new, or trade up at a shop. A thousand dollar learning experience. I'm rather bitter about the whole thing. |
