My NIB Victory 22 got fired once and its extractor went lost, never to be found. I sent it in and got it back in about 3 weeks. The first range trip was a learning experience. The first 60 rounds ran fine, and then the trouble started. The first notable problem was the trigger wouldn't always reset which is something I've never experienced before.

I took it apart at home and the barrel/frame screw was very loose; when I first got the gun new the screw was extremely tight. The bolt and receiver were VERY heavily oiled(looked like motor oil). I hosed all the excess oil out, lubed the internals with very light Remoil and reassembled. I used blue locktite and a torque wrench to 40#. The gun now runs beautifully with every ammo brand I've tried and the screw is still tight.

I suggest cleaning every gun that comes back from factory repairs.
