Nah, it's prolly your fault.
[8D] Just kidding, bro!

Seriously, it's a sad fact that they produce some lemons. In order to produce a (sub) $200 gun, one of the price savers seems to be quality control. I still love the NEF's.

I've also read that some of the lemons greatly imporve by completely dismantling the gun, cleaning all the parts, and doing a trigger job. Not many people want to deal with that hassle, but then again, those people tend to buy more expensive guns.

Good luck with your new .204. I hear it's a sweet caliber.
