I have to agree! The guy at Thompson Center was very nice and wants to make it right, so customer service is not an issue, but the "tight" bores seem to be common with TC. I spent the extra money for a high quality gun so I wouldn't have to worry about issues. I am going to try polishing the barrel and see what happens. Worst case scenario is sharing my wife's Accura this weekend.
