[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Colt 6920 Issue

Posted: 12/9/2007 12:51:28 AM EDT

Just picked up a 6920 from a guy who had it still sitting NIB.
Its unfired and brand new. Problem is that the FSB is badly canted.
Should i just fix this myself ? (I have a big hammer

)
Having never dealt with Colt customer service...call them or not ??

Cheers in advance.

cheers, limey

1st- did you remove it from the original plastic wrapper?

I ask since it is highly unlikely the rifle left the factory this way and the issue is caused by the shipper

Is the box damaged?

If none of the above--- Contact Colt CS and let them know. They will accept the rifle, fix it properly and return it.

I would not recommend a rubber hammer here as it is difficult to say what real damages are.

(did you get a discount from this cat for the damaged state?

)

Yep in the Original plastic wrapper, box no signs of damage.
It is brand new untinkered with. The guy I bought it from
is a friend and co-worker. He did not look too carefully at
the rifle and was unaware of its issue.

Send to Colt

The barrel on My Detective Spl was crooked
sent it to colt took about 2 weeks
Service was okay

I cant belive I didnt notice it until I got home and shot it in my yard/range
