Hey guys. I'm new to this forum and have a question: Does Taurus send you a letter about your repair even if you sent it through the dealer from which you bought it?
I sent my 24/7 OSS 9mm in for repair on March 10, 2011 through Bass Pro Shops/Outdoor World and they included my address on their form they sent with the gun. According to the FedEx tracking Taurus received it on March 14, 2011. It is now March 23 and I have not received anything from Taurus yet about my gun.
Some backstory: I bought the gun on March 1. Picked it up on March 8. Degreased and lubed it on March 9. Shot it on March 10. I put 100 rounds of Federal 115gr FMJ through it and had somewhere around 15 FTE (stovepipes) and several instances of a cartridge getting caught on the feed ramp at about a 45 degree angle. The mags were really stiff (sent one back with the gun). Two mags dropped out of the gun during the 14th or 15th round. A few times the slide did not lock back after the last round. At the end of my session there was excessive wear on the top of the barrel's crown(? shiny part at the ejection port; forgive me, for I'm a noob and I am not sure if that's the proper term). It seemed like the barrel and slide were scraping/hitting each other.
Did I get a lemon? I really loved the way the gun felt and shot and I'm really hoping to get it back fixed the first time. I'm afraid that with all the problems I had they will not be able to fix them all during the first go. Thanks in advance for the input. :'(
