Just remember to be nice to Robinson customer service. Really nice...
 
Yes. They are not fond of negative criticism or supposed "bad mouthing" of their rifle.

Admit fault for not checking it with a tourqe wrench, or not putting loctite on it, and ask them (nicely) to send you a new part. :p
 
Yea that's beyond weak. Gun fails (not due to neglect) and I sell it. I need to be able to trust it 100%.

Right, because the zombies are just lurking behind your potted plants and you need 110% milspec reliability to fend them off, and grizzly bears. Give it a rest guys, a threaded fastener rattled out, who cares. I've had AR's break parts.
 
I'm not slamming the XCR; I've heard a lot of great things about it. I've even recommended it to several people who were looking for a non-restricted black rifle in that price range. That being said, a product is only as good as the company that supports it...

First, when you call for service, be polite. If you are not polite to my staff, I guaranty you will not have a pleasant experience. Remember the old saying, "You can attract more files with honey that with vinegar." If you call with an attitude, my staff has been instructed to put you on the back burner. If you are nice and polite, you will get quicker service.

Second, please read the manual carefully. I know it's boring but there's important information there. Many people do not understand that you need to set the gas correctly for function and durability. It's really quite simple - put it on the setting that throws the brass 8 to 15 feet from the rifle for any given ammo. Do not just leave the gas system on the highest setting, If you do, for some ammo it will kick like hell, throw your brass 40 feet, give you trigger slap, and damage your recoil buffer (a cheap part).

Third, please send us the following information: ...
A complete description of the problem, BE BRIEF. If you write and essay about your vast knowledge of firearms base on your long time relationship with your AR-15, we won't read it.

Fourth, if you post a bunch of whiny petty negative stuff here or anywhere, I guaranty very slow service. I have made that a policy. Yes, we've made lots of mistakes with service but that is behind us.

Your post is so awesome I am lost for words..... I wonder what kind of service he would give you if he knew that you posted that here. That is the kind of thing that most people only daydream about sending to customers but courtesy and professionalism usually get in the way.

To paraphrase:

"If our product falls apart, and you are dissatisfied, do not tell us that our product is garbage, we already know. If you want service you must only tell us how awesome we are and that you are an idiot with no idea how to read a manual. Then we might consider helping you out, and fixing our product that fell apart, or doesn't work."
