So after voting today I thought I would reward myself with a trip to the range to relax. I’d been having some light primer strikes in my RDB, 1 in 10-20 rds so after the last trip I thoroughly stripped and cleaned it.
Today started off fine until about 20 rds in light strikes every second or third round then nothing. Got home and disassembled to find this F730C83A-2580-4DCB-88FE-79D247F96839.jpg, can’t say I’m happy but excrement happens.
Went to the kel tec web site and they sell RDB firing pins for $10, awesome I’ll by extras, nope they don’t ship to Canada.
Anyone know who the Canadian supplier is for kel tec? I’m going to call Kel-Tec direct in the am but I’d still like to know who the supplier is if they don’t ship.
Thanks, Adam
P.S. it’s the bolt without the spring.

Lifetime Warranty

Only one thing equals our commitment to the innovation and development of original, unique, high-performance firearms – and that’s our commitment to you, our customers.

Your satisfaction is why we provide you with a lifetime warranty on all of our firearms, not just a short, one or two-year warranty. We design, engineer, craft and build quality firearms and we stand behind them, pure and simple.

That’s why, along with your lifetime warranty, comes best-in-class customer service, whether you have a question or are experiencing a problem. We treat every customer as if you’re our only customer and every weapon as if it were our own, examining every facet of it before returning it to you so that you can be sure it’s performing as it should.
 
Just got off the phone with Kel-Tec ( answered on the first call by the way) and I have to deal with vault distribution (who do not answer the phone). I’ll update as soon as I get hold of vault. I’ve also emailed them.
 
Got hold of Patrick at vault warranty, easy painless, pin being dropped off at Canada post today. All under warranty.
Will do a range report when I get the pin.

This is all good to know. Warranty support is a huge factor for me in deciding which firearms to purchase.

I've had excellent support from Glock in the past and am hoping Kel-Tec will be the same.
 
Got my new firing pin in the mail today from vault. Took about a minute to install. It’s calling for rain for the next 3days here but I’ll try to go test fire it tomorrow and hopefully a couple of hundred rounds after that to make sure. Fingers crossed.

Yes, all previous failure to fire rds went boom on the first try. Fired 200 rds with no issues except for the rain.
PS the failure to fire round was from the previous trip.
