MSP, Yeah I read all that junk. There is no reason to turn ugly. It seems as though there is a whole group of people sowing discontent everywhere there is an anomalous connection. It's everywhere and has even turned into threats, etc... for people doing uncontroversial stuff. It's a black spot on the internet IMO.
Stimpy, I know there are times when everything manufactured does slip through the cracks. I was trying to share my experience because I'm a first time buyer who bought based on things I saw on this site. There are lots of glowing reviews about customer service and some not so glowing on H&R's workmanship. I had a bad experience with both. My rifle was obviously lost there on the floor or put in the wrong pile because it didnt get done until I called. I wish I had called earlier now. I dont think it's a consipracy but I think I've got the worst handi-luck out there. I want to love my handi. I was prepared to love my handi and shoot the barrel off it. Unfortunately it's just turned into a headache. I'm not bashing the rifle or the company, but just documenting it and how things like this upsets customers. I guess some people saw this as an opening to bash the handi rifles. I really dont know what was said because Fred's response was the last I saw around 4pm yesterday. I would have much rather seen the posts deleted instead of my whole thread and history deleted. Now it's as if it never happened.
