I don't think the original poster was way out of line as he as the client has a bought and paid for right to voice his displeasure over a perceived/real problem. Privately funded forum? Its also not a bad idea to publicize problems such as these for better or for worse. The pros of this entire thread are Wolverines reputation has now been further enhanced, (I am btw a multiple purchase satisfied client), and fellow CGN'ers now know to proceed with caution when purchasing this type of firearm. I think a call to Wolverine would have better suited his case, but he did not in any way "badmouth" Wolverine IMHO
