Well, I guess it happens to most of us at one time or another.
I received my model 25-10 from the seller off Gun broker and the barrel is
overtightened a few degrees.
I don't know if you can see it in this photograph, but it is to such a degree
that the ball detent lock on the front of the yoke will not engage the
notch in the lower part of the ejector rod shroud.
I now have 3 of these guns and the other two are fine.
So, I called customer service and they are e mailing me a shipping label.
Here is my own twist to this story;
When I send it back I am going to ask if the P.C. gunsmith that works
on it will simply remove the barrel and replace it with a 4 inch
tapered barrel from the last production run of the 25-13 mountain gun.
So I would end up with a blue, no lock, Performance Center Mountain gun
chambered in 45 Colt.
Imagine this gun with a 4" barrel with a ramp front sight.
I am waiting to see if the barrel is still available.
I will update this thread as the situation develops.
