Speak to citizens advice but the choice is repair, replacement or refund at the buyers choice (cant remember the time period off my head now). Why replace it with the same though? Fact is stuff goes wrong on all sorts when new I have seen a jammed up New English Sidelock come back after its first shoot day, take advice then see what the dealer says the issue is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 It would depend what's happened it could be a firing pin cut a little short, these things happen. If the innards have all fallen to pieces yes new gun but something very minor, let it be repaired with new parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunman Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) You don't say what the gun was . If its new then the shop needs to tell you what their suppliers policy is on warrantee's . I do warrantee work for a wholesaler , some faults are simple things that do not always show up on factory inspection but will on shooting ,such as ejector timing .Other times I have recommended that the gun be returned to the factory and replaced , in some cases unfortunately , I have found no fault other than the expectation of the owner or lack of oil, especially on autos . So my advice is to speak to your seller and ask him what options he is going to offer you as he will no doubt send the gun back to the importer for correction and you should accept that if it a simple fault that it can be corrected but within a set time span of say 14 days other wise you will expect a replacement or a full refund . Makes for much better customer relations than going in all guns blazing with threats of Trading Standards and Sale of Goods acts, who knows you may even get a couple of boxes of cartridges out of it for your trouble .

Fisheruk Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Depends what is wrong? If you like the 410 I would have it fixed. Also put the marker down that if there are any more problems you might want a refund. What make is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Please keep us posted as to the out come . It may be of help to other members too know what to expect form the shop concerned as well as the after sales service from the wholesaler ,some of whom I am afraid are not up to expectation .
