Not sure about what Mk it is but I sure as hell wouldn't accept a gun that's been sat in the dealers for 14 months. Would you pay for a new car that's been sat on a forecourt for that length of time?

chrisjpainter Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I don't believe that is true. Both are still being made and being sent to gun shops, so I don't really know what that chap's on about. Having said that, as Timmytree has said, a gun that's been sitting on the shelf for 14 months? hardly brand new is it... I'd go back and say that it's not acceptable. The warranty is valid from purchase date, so that's not a problem, but even so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Not sure about what Mk it is but I sure as hell wouldn't accept a gun that's been sat in the dealers for 14 months. Would you pay for a new car that's been sat on a forecourt for that length of time?This is a terrible comparison . Do you know how long new cars are stored in fields ? They can be 2 years old before you get them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmytree Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Yes I do know, I've watched the stockpiles at Avonmouth for years and pitied the people who have paid for a new car not knowing that it's been sat in a low lying grass field next to a salt water tidal river and with the prevailing wind bringing salty moist air off the sea. I've been told of vehicles that are perforated with rust and had to be scrapped before they even left the compound. That's why I will never buy a new car. I think it's a fair analogy, a long unsold gun will deteriorate as seals harden and become less flexible, customers should be made aware of that.

ed badger Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 a new r10 should have 13 after the serial number.The older ones does not have a number after the serial number .Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Three years ago in June I bought what was probably the last bull barrel carbine Super 10 being sold new in the country. It did not matter to me that they had not been made for a few years, it was being sold as new with a warranty. BSA never had to honour the warranty it was great from the off, but then I took it to Mr Bowkett and now have an everlasting warranty!
