[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3598140, member: 5800"] Long story short, although I've posted the full version here before: * Bought a Browning 1911-380 * Browning fails to to into battery. * Call Browning, they say send it in, no worries. * 6 weeks later, I get a quote for 200 bucks because it was 6 months outside of an unpublished warranty period. * Go full Karen and get it sent back. For 200 I'll fix it or screw it myself. * Figure out how to work on 1911 style guns. 1.5 hours later having bent the extractor rod like .5 degrees back it was fixed. I would have felt better had they checked it out, but whatever. It shot fine, I confirmed full function then ditched it. I don't want Browning in my house again. No one troubleshot on the phone, asked any real questions. No one looked up the serial number to tell me in advance it was out of warranty. No published warranty at all. And 200 dollar quote for literally unspecified repairs and parts. Even if they had itemized the repairs and parts needed I'd have given half credit. Total crap experience. [/QUOTE]
