Folks ,
I bent the hammer on my Encore by using an extension on it & installing it all the way at the top of the hammer. This happened over a peroid of time,little by little, & I never noticed it. I sent my frame back to T/c on the eighth of May. I shipped on that date, I don't know when they got it. It came back yesterday 5/12/05 , with a new hammer & a note stating that they DO NOT reccomend the use of hammer extensions but repaired my rifle FREE of charge. THAT ISN"T GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE : IT"S OUTSTANDING!!! I know there are folks who have trouble ,but this is my experience & it isn't the first time T/C has repaired/replaced an item FREE of charge.
