I take it you will have checked out your incoming "CONTACT US" mail (from last night) by now and will know I CC'd you the CGN post. As of 14.30 today no response from that. I guess weekend sales are busy.
I felt the post should be on CGN because of the bolt release issue.
I am happy with the gun.
What I am not happy with is that I asked SPECIFICALLY for a gun that hadn't been messed with. These get delivered from Ruger with a chamber plug inserted, and in a poly bag which helps stop the gun rattling around in the box while in transit. I am sure you have to check the SN to delete the gun from your stock. All that needs to be done is to slide it half way out of the poly bag and check the SN is correct. Then put it back. There is no need to chamber check it as there is a chamber plug holding the bolt back.
So, no poly bag, chamber plug left loose in the box. Toonie size hole in the box which certainly looks like it was made from the inside.(Presumably while box was open) Obvious evidence that the gun has been fired, possibly not extensively, but more than the once usually needed to prove it works. (Usually get the fired case in with a gun. Maybe not with these)
This is how I feel I have been treated.........Like I am having dinner in a restaurant and ask for a 'medium' steak. It comes 'rare'. I send it back to the chef who (irritated that his skills are being questioned) blitzes it and sends it back after spitting on it.
Tell me you wouldn't feel different.
I will use the CGN forum unless/until your 'Contacy Us' works. You are welcome to PM me.
