Guest MarylandQDMA Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 I got home from work last evening and figured I would clean my t/c encore 7mm-08 barrel (after using it on my bou trip). any how wile placing the forarm back in the barrel the front screw would not bite the threds in the barrel, I puled it off and looked and here the screw had striped comptly off ok I thought I'll just get a new screw, WORNG. I started to think "just why did it strip" answer: it seems the hole in the forarm and the hold in the barrel do not line up exlaty. this caused my to strip the screw. so even if I did get a new screw, chanches are good that it will happen again. I guess I need to get on the phone with t/c and complain and get them to fix the problem. arghhhhhhhh Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MarylandQDMA Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Re: MAD! after talking to t/c's CS, I was told that my barrel wil be replaced. I guess the barrels are driled to match the forarms. kinda makes me mad cause I had such a #*$& of a time mounting the scope and sighting it in. then I had to have the local gunsmith put on the finishing touches (for 68.00 bucks) so now I am wondering if they will remount and boresight the scope onto the new barrel or if I will have to shell out another 68.00 to remount the scope.

Guest MarylandQDMA Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Re: MAD! UPDATE: aftertalking to t/c again, I need to send them every thing, (taken apart) and they will remount the scope on a NEW barrel. they don't have any 7mm-08 barrels curently, so she told me that mine would end up being a costum job! how cool. I get a costom barrel (kinda). Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
