Warranty - CLEAN & LUBRICATE YOUR GUN!

I'm a firm believer in getting some lube into your gun. Depending on the firearm I'm hosing it down with G96, squirting some Slip2000 into it or wiping on some good ol synthetic 10/30

But for me, if a gun won't run at least 1000 rounds without a takedown and cleaning, it's just not a good firearm. I actually want them to go for several thousand. (Obviously this doesn't apply to precision or even hunting rifles that you want accuracy from and want to keep the bore nice and shiny_

That said, if a firearm malfunctions,, I'll be disassembling, cleaning, looking for obvious broken parts and testing long before I send it in for warranty. While not every service center is the same, it's been my experience that sending a firearm in for work results in a very long wait, even over a year before resolution, so that is an absolute last resort.

Good morning everyone.

As many people know, we handle the warranty for many firearms companies in Canada. Most delays are from us waiting for parts from the various manufactures. We stock 1000's of firearms parts but sometimes they need to be sourced from the manufacture which can take a while. We don't like waits either.

Now for the real reason for the post. Please clean and lubricate your firearm. You have no idea how many people send in firearms that have never been cleaned or lubricated. With the increase of 22LR semi auto's on the market this is even more so important....22's get dirty really fast as they have a blow back action. This means you need to clean them more. You also need to lubricate them. Use a good gun oil, don't use motor oil. You might think I am joking but we see guns coming in all the time with thick motor oil in the action....or dry as a bone and never lubricated.

If you send in your firearm for warranty work and we find that the issue is caused by a lack of general maintenance, that isn't warranty and you will be billed. I don't want to sound harsh but we're getting a lot of 22's in that are just dirty. I'm sure it is because there are a lot of new 22 shooters out there who were used to AR15's and the like that would eat anything, dirty or not.

They don't deserve to have them. Maybe they never clean out the cat's litter box either. Sheesh!
