Nice shooting Ron. Looking at that target makes me think I should shoot the ramrod out of some of my rifles.

You know Ron, it wouldn't hurt to call TC and ask to speak to one of their technicians (not a customer service clerk) and explain the situation. You never know, they might have a barrel sitting around and would be willing to switch your action to a new barrel.

Also, you could ask about the safety issue. But given the liability issue, I would expect them to tell you not to shoot it. As for me, I would not be concerned. I believe there are a LOT of guns out there with slightly bulged barrels being shot all the time with the owner not even realizing the barrel has been bulged.

I won't call anybody.

Semi,
Ya know I hate to admit it but I shot half of my ramrod out of my TC Encore . I called TC's service and asked them to ship me a new barrel and I would pay the shipping and the price for the barrel. I explained the complete story and in no way was I looking for a replacement barrel; however, after going through the process of me ruining a perfectly good barrel, they just said for me to ship them my old barrel and they would replace the barrel. I had shot the barrel after the incident and it wasn't damaged that caused an accuracy issue, so I told TC that I didn't beleive it to be fair to them . So, I boxed up the barrel and shipped it back to TC and a few days later I received a package from UPS. I recieved a new barrel that was fluted and had the speed breach XT. My barrel was the old Encore barrel. The next day I recieved another package by the little brown truck. It was the original barrel with a note explaining that I may want to keep the barrel to remind me of the hunts and the incident. I have never had an issue ever with TC's service. I was going to have the old barrel bored out and sleeved and I still may later, but for now I will just sit and count my blessings and enjoy my new barrel.

Sorry to hijack the thread but that is some great customer service.

Actually it was awesome, but I kinda high jacked the thread. I had taken my meds before I logged in and read the post. I do apoligize, but it is a true story. I have always had outstanding service with TC. The barrel still shoots fine but I was gun shy about shooting it. I have not had pleasant experiences with loud explosions especially that close to my head.

No way is your post a hijack. It is very very relevant to my issues. Who knows, i may follow your example. I actually owe you a thank you for such an informative post.

Had you written about the weather in New Mexico, or insisted i not call CVA bullet CVA bullet,





i would consider that a hijack. Had you written i needed a hug, or that i was just Ron being Ron, i would have been insulted, as well as this thread been hijacked. It is only natural i am Ron being Ron; i am Ron, what/who else could i be?

No sir, you did not hijack this thread nor did you deflect the conversation.

Thank you for your post.

vendor - CVA blackpowder guns - equipment.

It really saddens me to see the path some folks are taking just to start an argument. Something is going on in the dakotas and making some act nuts.

Now that was an elegant hijack/deflection.

Ron,
I normally just hang out and read the post; however, I didn't want yall to think I was deflecting the post.
