Buy recommendations Watch my local gunsmith make 200$

This is the second time this happens (after 500 rounds and +115 rounds after that).

Because I re-screwed the picatinny rail screws and added blue loctite myself (which wasn't done from the factory), I've voided the warrant for this component according to Stoeger Canada. So basically I can't screw in my own loose screws without voiding warranty on the screws and threads.

I was gonna recommend all Beretta 1301 owners to loctite their thread when they buy their brand new shotgun, but I can't even properly recommend that.

Did you torque it?

I'll be honest brotha, I didn't torque it to a specific spec, I just made it not too tight, not too loose. But it wouldn't have mattered warranty wise because "Once a customer either removes / installs parts or does anything with any type of fastener or part on a firearm that leads to failure. The warranty on those parts is then voided."

Maybe if i had torqued it exactly to spec, it wouldn't have flown off the second time. Oh well, live and learn.

Is that actually in the warranty, or just some shit a rep told you, because if thats in the documents thats insane. Its a screw, not a complex piece of machinery. You might need to remove the rail to clean your firearm, this isn't some exotic disassembly. You should be able to disassemble a firearm to the bones and reassemble without issue

By that wording dissasembling your firearm to clean it, reassembling it, then experiencing a failure down the road could void your warranty. There ain't no way.
