Correct me if I am wrong, but don't you (in the general) sign a piece of paper saying that you will send firearms off to the manufacturer once you leave Academy? Every purchase I've made there says that if there are any issues, I have to deal with the manufacturer.

With Yildiz, you're supposed to bring it back to them. I asked them where to send it for warranty work and all they would say is to bring it back in to any Academy. I thought it was weird too, but they act like it is an Academy brand.

I took it to the same Academy I bought the gun from (75 and Royal), and was just as disappointed with the service from the guys behind the gun counter. The store manager and the guy working the front were great, but the gun counter supervisor was a bit of a jackwagon.

First, he told me the gun does not have "ejectors" but that it has "extractors." He swore up and down that this gun was not designed to eject anything, but that it was designed to push the spent shells up so I could take them out with my hands. After a few minutes of me explaining that it does have ejectors, and those ejectors work most of the time, he finally relented, just to accuse me of not choosing the correct loads. According to him, anything less than 1 1/8 oz is insufficient to "fire the ejectors." I looked at him like he was crazy and just told him to send it off so that an actual gunsmith could take a look. After all that, he decided I needed to go home and figure out exactly what brand, shot size, and shot weight I had used in it before he could send it for repair. I think he could sense my frustration (at least I hope he could) when I told him everything I put in it failed at some point. He finally agreed to just send it off and let the gunsmiths deal with it.

It should not have taken that much effort to get the gun repaired. This is the second time in two tries that I have had a bad experience with that particular Academy's gun counter. What a shame. Every other Academy has been great.

I'll keep everyone posted on the progress of the repairs.
