HDAV Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 thanks for the replys chaps it was an epoxy glue they used after 12months the warranty stands at webleys feet by law ........ all the spares where bought by chambers for the older style semi autos and we all know how dear they are ...... next port of call for him is BASC i think Check the fine print and sale of goods act only the retailer is responsible..... Webley went bust years ago iirc highland outdoors owns the name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) As far as I'm aware the seller is responsible in this instance-when you bought the gun you entered into a contract to purchase an item that,by law,must be fit for purpose-this gun is clearly not of sufficient quality.I was considering a new B725 from them-they can swivel.

gixer1 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) I'd be embarrassed to use that as a peg marker knocked into a muddy field - nevermind as a gun! I wouldn't have even taken it out of the shop! Take it back and ram it up the guy who fixed it's rectum...

Pastiebap Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Whoever give you that back as adequately fixed has big brass balls to go with their brass neck. Have you tried the distributor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 http://www.highlandoutdoors.co.uk/WebleyScottShotguns.html Hope they will sort it but I would get onto the shop by letter ( rejecting the repair and offering them the opportunity to replace the the barrel/rib or give a full refund as not fit for purpose) I would contact TS to confirm where you stand re change of ownership!

snipper Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 the warranty claim would be against the manufacture ....... the contract with the seller is only for the 1st 12 months (sale of goods act ) regarding highland outdoors ........ who are this lot then http://www.webley.co.uk/home/index/4371.1 who i contacted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always retailer http://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/sale-of-goods/understanding-the-sale-of-goods-act/your-rights/ is a good guide, manufacturers normally assist the retailer but the manufacture has no contract with at all! From which site: Six months...and counting If your claim is about a problem that arises within six months of buying the product, it's up to the retailer to prove that the goods were of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, or 'as described' when it sold them e.g. by showing that the problem was caused by an external factor such as accidental damage. Beyond six months, it's up to you to prove that the problem was there when you received the goods even if it has taken until now to come to light. So you may need to prove that the fault was not down to ordinary wear and tear or damage you caused, and that the product (or a component) should have lasted longer than it did. To do this you may need an expert's report, for example from an engineer or mechanic. Edited July 30, 2012 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 just emailed highland outdoors with a link to this thread to see what they have to say ( if they are honoring warranty's) I wouldn't have done that myself but hey ho, I would certainly write to the retailer rejecting the "repair" worth a call to CA or TS as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 if all else fails it might be an idea to write to sporting gun or one of the other shooting mags explaining the situation etc.just a thought. :unsure: they seem to shout a bit louder than we do!

Big_Paulie Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 If all else fails, and you get no satisfaction whatsoever, could it be welded back on? Or brazed maybe? If people reckon so, you're welcome to send it my way, and I'll have a go for you. Do a pretty neat job so I'm told. You'd lose the surrounding area of Camo of course. Good luck P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it would need proofing, easily fixed if your happy to loose chunks of camo! Replacement barrel assembly is the answer but hopefully it will be sorted under warranty by highland outdoors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizmark Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Take my advice and contact trading standards, the supplier of the gun are responsible for the item being fit for purpose. I would think that the rib becoming detatched from the barrel is a clear case of your gun not being fit for purpose. You should get a propper repair or a new gun.

snipper Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) an udpate ............ spoke to John bright of higlandoutdoors and he is sending a replacment barrel free of charge chuffed to bits and cannot thank john enough for customer service Edited August 16, 2012 by snipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 take it back and tell them you wont the barrel replacing or your money back or you will take them to court dont put up with that **** as it is not fit for purpose Agreed.
