Ha, I get it. The only reason I care is because my 5 year old son will be shooting it too. But I suppose that still wouldn’t matter too much. I guess I just like machinery to run well and if there are things I can tune/optimize, I try to.
I personally haven’t talked to Bergara, but everything I’ve seen online has been people claiming they don’t provide parts. The few people you’re talking about got parts from Bergara?
I'll say if you want to be picky, you need to start at the level of a well assembled Rim-x or Vudoo, but they cost 2-5x more for the attention to the little details. That's what you're paying for, is those things that might not matter but they feel better.
Yes, Bergara will send out parts. You need to ask them and you may need to wait for them to get new stock from Spain.
