I guess I am one of those firm believers in the TC warranty... I am the one purchased a broken (cracked)Renegade stock and received a new one from TC...
I called them (TC)and informed them I purchased a stock, just the stock,from a KIT and that itwas cracked on theside of the tang. It was not my crack and I do not know how it got cracked... Her reply - "we warranty the part not the person who uses it" then she said "send it in" I also told her - if they felt it might be abuse, just send it back and I would repair it... they sent a new stock.
So with all the TC's that I own that has been my only encounter with them.
A lot of people wold also tell the price of the warranty is included in the price of the gun... they havedone their actuary work and precisely what it cost them per year and what they need to charge to cover that work...
So when we look@ the price of TC Hawken vs other brands - you are paying for that lifetime warranty.
A company that honors their product as completly as does TC is worth doing business with.
