For what ever it's worth my 41 I use to shoot bulls-eye with went full auto on me after approx 100,000 rounds that I purchased used. I live in Connecticut so I bought it up to Smith in Mass because they have a lifetime warranty except on competition guns so they charged me for the parts and no charge for the labor. The advantage of bringing the gun to Smith in person , you get to talk to the gunsmith who is going to work on you gun.
I would try asking them about their lifetime warranty and take it from there.
