    Wouldn't that split case be caused by a chamber irregularity?

    Mine is near on 40yrs old. Wooden stocked, long barrel. Has a 3-9 Nikko gold crown on it. Outshoots any other .22 that I or any of my mates have used over the years. Dont know what the round count is now, stopped counting at 150,000 quite a few years back. Best .22 I have ever owned and I have had just about every brand.

    Those split cases have been overlooked in this discussion, I have never seen that in any 22 before including two JW 15 and an EM. The split cases alone should be reason enough for a refund IMO

    Not trying to be a jerk but.... would you be entitled to a refund when it's been chopped about? Different if you'd tested it first and found it shot like the proverbial shotgun and returned it. Not trying to shit stir at all. I just know that i wouldn't change anything until I'd tested it.

    Yeah I mentioned in the first post I doubted Gun City would take it back and I'm happy to take that on the chin and go about fixing it myself..
    Hindsight is a great thing, I only started hacking in to it because it shot like shit in the first place, but I agree I would've had a better chance getting it sorted if I hadn't modified it

    Had one about 10 yrs ago.
    Bought it one day, returned for a refund the next.

    Foresight was bent at 45 deg angle. Not that it mattered as I wasn't going to use iron sights plus easily staightened.
    Bolt was extremely difficult to close.
    Wouldn't feed last round out of mag. Yeah, I could have gone and bought a CZ mag.
    Safety wouldn't work not that I use them. Believe non operating safeties was common.
    Crown not good. Cannot remember if bore centre.
    Took out of stock and the bits that couldn't be seen when assembled had not been stained and the wood wasn't far off the colour of balsa wood.

    Said I would be never buy Chinese firearm shite again. Since bought an EM332

    Agreed. Tell your wife to look up Stangskyting on YouTube and she won't think much more about that SKS. What did she get for it btw?
