I suggest call them when they get back from their winter vacation on the 7th. Explain and ask for a "call tag", that way it costs you nothing but time, they pay the shipping both ways. Ask they expidite the repair, it's a brand new gun and you want to coyote hunt (right?). also ask them to do the free trigger job while it's there. You should have it within 2 weeks from when you send it out....good luck....<><.... :grin:
