mossy835 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 there seems to be a lot of trouble with the semi auto, but the pump action just keeps going.i had a hatsan semi at on time, and it was trouble free, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmos05 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I have bought a 20g escort in March 2007 which makes the gun just over 7 year old and I have never cleaned or striped it properly. Best £310 I ever spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRNDL Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Having recently bought and sold 2 of them...they were both trouble free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossberg-operator Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Mine works fine, love it, I do clean it every time. Likes heavier cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaedra1106 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Same here, bought it in 2007, used every 2 weeks for the last 7 years plus my son uses it for PSG until he gets his FAC so between 10 and 15,000 cartridges through it at least. I even bought a Mk3 as a spare in case it broke, sat in the cabinet unused for 2yrs so I sold it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmick Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I have a Beretta that has had around 180 thousand cartridges through it and never a problem.however this does not help the op with his dilemma.and as gratifying as it may be for him to hear all the stories of the working hatsans my advice still stands.if no refund then p/x it as soon as possible.a bad one of these is never going to be a good one.

Travlaa Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Does the sale of goods act count under the sale of shotguns? If it's not fit for purpose, I don't see why they won't replace/refund it. But as I said above, all you can do is ask and don't take the first answer you get.

bostonmick Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 The sale of goods act will cover this gun.however as it is now past six months it will be a bit more involved.in all honesty as it is a cheap gun the hassle you are going to have to go through probably is not worth it.by all means ask but if you get refused I would look at p/x you will take a hit but at least you will be shooting again with a gun you have confidence in.as with most consumer type laws they are very complicated in practice.but all the best in your case.

welsh1 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Call the person you bought the shotgun off and tell them you are rejecting the shotgun and would like your money back. I know you should do this as early as possible, but you say that it has been returned for repair twice,you have given them ample opportunity to rectify the problem and the shotgun is simply not fit for purpose.Follow up with an email to them rejecting the shotgun. They will have to replace,you have given the opportunity to rectify but that has failed and the product is not fit for purpose. If they want to argue,stay calm and inform them that you will be contacting trading standards and informing them of the suppliers refusal to adhere to the sale of goods act. You should also be prepared to accept less back for your shotgun than you paid,as you have had some use out of it,what you accept is between you and them. It's not complicated,trading standards know it inside out,and it is designed to aid you as the consumer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see it being all that difficult. Afterall they have had the chance to repair it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
