While thumbing through myĬollection of gun manuals and exploded views, I never ran across aĭisassembly and reassembly instructions for this particular rifle.Ĭompletely refurbishing this old favorite meant everything had toĬome off of the gun.
Of a serial number but seems to have been manufactured between 1961 andġ969, prior to the Gun Control Act of 1968. Research on this gun was hindered due to a lack Although I had to order replacements for two parts beyond repair,

I'll just buy something I know is good and that I can fix myself if it breaks. If you still think it is broken, you can ship it again to so and so (your cost again.) and they will review it. You'll have to send it (at your own cost) to so and so, he will declare it fine and send it back to you, if you wish to pay for it. "This is broken." "OK, here's a new one/let me fix that up for you." That is how warranty's should be handled.
Snap-on and MAC are about the only warranty's that are worth a pinch of shit anyway. I either spend more trying to get an item warranted than it is worth, or get frustrated at the whole process and say fuck it and fix the problems myself. I have had piss poor luck with pretty much ANY warranty though, so I pretty much write them off as a wash most of the time. I don't mean that XX particular gun is a bad piece, but if the model in general is a pos, then it is usually pretty well known after a while.
If you are finding that people are looking for parts, then I agree that is a hint towards a possibly poor gun. I have no experience with either of the rifles you are considering. New, its a gamble, they are all hyped up to be great, but how many really are? It is also a lot easier to weed out problematic guns that are older as word has gotten around that XX is a POS. A day after you buy a new rifle, the comparison is no longer "new $300 gun, or used $300 gun" it becomes "used $200 gun vs used $300 gun" New you will always lose a little bit of value as soon as you fire it. It's also nice that if you buy a used $300 rifle and don't like it, it is usually still worth $300. My opinion is to generally buy older stuff if you can, although you should always do a little research first to find the problematic designs. (the ejector won't work with XX ammo, and XX won't feed, XX works OK, but blah blah blah.) All the older rifles I've used all feed any and all ammo fine, but newer stuff, I always get the "tips and tricks" sermon before using them. I've had the opposite of spork's experiences.
