I couldn’t believe my bad luck didn’t follow me with this gun. I can at least say it chambers the second round every time, but I can’t say it throws a good pattern yet.
What’s a good pattern?
160 with the .385 Indian creek is good I guess. I’m hoping for better
That’s a good start

I suspect some of you don’t care about my tristar updates but I figure there are some that are considering buying one and might be interested in how warranty dept will treat them.
Called today and they said they would email a shipping label for the gun. Said they would either fix it this time or replace it. Sounds promising, I hope it’s true.

Still no gun. Last time I called the head gunsmith had sent it to another gunsmith because he was to busy showing the “Turks “ around on there visit. Said he had over 1500 guns in for servicing and was just very busy but would have my gun fixed and mailed within 2 days. That was 6 days ago.

Thankfully it’s not turkey season!

Finally got the gun back. I asked them to ship it to a business address but they ignored that and sent it to my farm. Delivery guy sat it out by the gate. Glad someone didn’t steal it and shoot someone with it.
They replaced the barrel and put some pretty serious file marks on the ejection port. The gun cycles now. I still wouldn’t ever buy another one of these.

Glad it’s working now. Picture of the file marks?

File marks would be more precise than this. It looks like they used a concrete stick.
