DG - That is, in essence, what the " store policy" is. " All Firearms Sales are Final" is on a big sign behind the counter. To the individual' s credit who I' m working with, he told me that in this case he just couldn' t let it go at that, and is going to handle coordinating the repair/replacement with Ruger.

You' re right, though - I should know better than to go to a " superstore" like that (Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World) and buy a gun. I probably would have been better served by going to a small shop.
