Interesting turn of events on my (not working)608,,

[omcforever]

As you all know my saga on my 608 Taurus last year and this year, the many times back to Taurus and still not repaired. well,,,,,my gun shop owner had got the chance to talk to the area Taurus sales rep/mgr and my gun shop owner explained to him the issues,pulled the files,ect, and he then made a few calls, sent some e-mails, got a Will call pick up tag issued, and the rep said he would personnaly see this thru either for 100% satisfaction for repair or replacement. He then explained about all the issues they are having at the Florida warranty/repair center and how they are trying to get them all fixed. So, I will try one more time,,,lets see. The gun was sent out thursday.

I guess the old saying is true! not what you know it is "WHO" you know. Hope they finally make everything right.

I'm really sorry to hear that but let me tell you a story about GOOD service from Taurus


I bought a used 608 (never researched the age and year of manufacture, it looked used and neglected though) anyways I noticed that when using some H-110 toploads that the cylinder pin would not lock up correctly (viscious recoil would make it glitch) and that would stop it from rotating.  I had to open the cylinder and rotate it by hand to get it going again.  Strange enough and probably easily fixed by them, although not their problem because I shot reloads through a used gun.... but I took apart the cylinder assembly and "jumped a thread" putting the ejector rod back into the extractor rod.... needless to say I had to go full-on retard and keep wrenching on it.. and broke that off.  Long story short, I called them up, a very nice woman told me to send it in with a note saying what I did.  She even said they'd fix it for free.  They did, I saw slight vice marks on it but it was cleaned up and working again when I got it back.  All I had to do was pay shipping to send it to the Florida location and they sent it back fixed with no bill.  I've been putting those 21.4 grs H-110 w/ 125grs bullets of various types through it and nothing has gone wrong yet.  I also put how bad I messed up and that I am a 'tard on the note.. maybe it got me some sympathy, or they didn't want me messing with it and wanted to actually get it working before I ended up destroying it.  Either way they pitied me.  Good people.  Also try maxfire speedloaders when you get it back working.

actually I told them about my "repairs" I never TOLD them I reload or fired reloads through it, although I shipped it to them in the box I got from my frankford arsenal tumbler... pretty obvious I think.  Like I said, they must have pitied me.
