I just paid $500 at Delray Shooting Center, FL. I was happy to pay it though. Didn't have to be on a waiting list or anything like that. I made a phone call, it was there, I said hold it and showed up 15 mins later cash in hand ;)

Thanks guys. That mag is history! Any chance S&W would replace it since its a factory mag, less than 2 weeks old?

I just took my shield 9 to the range for only it's 2nd time out and I was hoping not to have any FTE's this time. I had 3 the first time out and after a good cleaning and a few more rounds I was hoping to be done with them. Unfortunately I did have two today, right off the bat. This time I took...

The item is SOLD

Just wanted to let everyone know that S&W sent my rifle back, fixed at no charge :D:D:D They replaced the Bolt Assembly. Apparently nothing else was wrong with the rifle. Seeing as I'm not the original owner, it was really awesome and un-expected customer service! Thanks S&W!!!

Live and learn . . . It was only my second firearm purchase. Lesson learned though.

Just a quick update . . . Spoke to S&W and the rifle is on it's way to them. I'll post an update when they get back to me.

Thanks for the heads up everyone. I guess I'll get S&W on the phone tomorrow. I'm way too new to be repairing things myself. I'm still shocked that someone who is a fellow gun "enthusiast" would screw over another so royally.

So, it's not even just the barrel assembly? :mad: Oh man. I got really hosed. :mad::mad::mad: If I send this in to S&W, I'm going to end up paying for repairs then?

So how do I fix it? Can I buy replacement parts?

I posted yesterday that I bought a used 15/22 and that the charging handle felt a little "rough" when I pulled it back. It also didn't seem to go all the way forward when I released it. The general consensus was to give it a good cleaning. So I am in the process of doing it now and I've found...

Ok, thanks guys! I'm just really new and started thinking maybe I got taken advantage of.

Aside from needing a good cleaning, is there anything that could actually be wrong with the rifle? Today is the last day of the gun show and then the seller is gone. I've been watching YouTube videos and when you pull back and release the charging handle - it snaps right back. Mine isn't so...

OK, thanks. Will do. This is only my second firearm and first used one. I bought a S&W 22a pistol. Really enjoy it.
