Fix my gun Chiappa's questionable build quality and finish

Any fellow Chiappa owners (and specifically LA322 owners) dealing with quality control issues on their rifles?

Purchased this LA322 Bandit Bootleg earlier this year and its only seen the range twice, yet the finish is peeling right off with no effort. I fear at some point I'll be left with a bare receiver.

I'm considering opening a claim with Chiappa's warranty department. Fingers crossed they'll cover it?

I had(have?) a deluxe edition of this rifle. It kept failing to extract so I had to use a cleaning rod to remove the brass. Then after about the 20th shot, the frame cracked.

I brought it to a chiappa accredited gunsmith (sfrc Kingston). I've since been informed that the firearm was "written off" and I'm receiving a replacement.

I've been waiting 6 months, however, Chiappa has been pretty reasonable considering I lost my receipt for the firearm. I'm sure that the gunsmith could confirm it was practically a new gun once they looked at it.

If you get to Chiappa internationals website and keep failing the cloudflare check (it happened to me, very distressing), go to their US site and file the claim there with an explanation and request they forward it to the proper people. That's what I did.

Hopefully I get a replacement soon. Hopefully you get some sort of compensation.
