Colt M4 .22 troubles

[colt501]

I tried to sight in my Trijicon TA11 scope but I didn't have enough windage adjustment. It still shot to the left. This picture shows why.
I sent it back to UMAREX hopefully they will fix this.
It shot ok, but the magazine kept falling out. The palm of my hand is still sore from trying to knock the mag in so it wouldn't fall out after about 15 rounds.
Umarex said it was an easy fix, but since I am sendings the rifle in I will let them fix that too.

so the barrel was warped to the left?

[colt501]

I am not sure.
It was hard to tell if the barrel was off or the upper flattop was cast off center.

It's to bad they decided to use barrel sleeves in these rifles, they look more like heavy straws.

I spoke with Umarex today. They said they were sending me a new rifle.
I will let you know what happens next.

[cobra kai]

did they say anything about the serial number that belongs to you on the out of spec rifle?

[colt501]

They did not say anything about the serial number.

[bustamove]

They did not say anything about the serial number.

When a manufacturer replaces a gun (from what I've been told) the manufacturer informs the ATF that this rifle was replaced because it was un-repairable. They also send in the new numbers so the new rifle is registered to the owner.

Basically all the owner has to do is accept the new rifle. Everything else has already been done.

Well, I received my new rifle on Wednesday.
This rifle shoots good. The trigger pull is 8.5 lbs. There were no isuses
with the mag release and the scope mounted perfectly.
They also sent me an extra 30rd mag (Free).
I am very pleased with there service.

Colt 501, one thing everyone can agree upon is that Umarex has great customer service. Glad you got a new rifle and it is right, nice looking rig.
