I shot the Chiappa LA322 deluxe takedown 22. 20 shots, failed to extract every second shot. Then the frame cracked. What a fucking scam.

This is why they warranty their work; bad component(s) must've slipped through QA. The real test of a company is how they handle issues with their products. If they refuse to do anything about it; then they're a joke.

chiappa unsurprisingly cheaps out on their warrenty centers for canada and keeps picking places that are terrible. first it was gretch and now it is SFRC.

both take months or years to fix your gun. have poor communication and when you do get to them get met with the "waiting on parts" excuse that other warrenty centers dont seem to have a problem with.

Idk about sfrc but latley I had to deal with Gretch for my henry and he is amazing. Both time he replied to my email within 30 minutes. The first time he ordered the parts right away and I got them in about a month and a half, the second time i had the same issue and he called after the first email trying to figure out what's going on. He even called a few people he knows to see if they had seen the same issue then called henry themselves. I found him awesome to deal with.
