Brock, a person should not have to go to self help tinkering or a gunsmith to make a brand new rifle operate the way it is supposed to. That gun would go back to where I purchased it if it were mine, especially since the company knows they have a problem and continues to put those rifles out the door. That doesn't show much consideration for their customers at all. They should all be sent back to the company and Beretta can use them for door props or tomato stakes.
