Tenacity action has patches that are not shiny?! Normal?

[Kms33kms]

I have had this defiance action for roughly a month now , have the barrel in hand , now waiting for trigger and then chassis . I do handle the action everynow
And then and all of a sudden today I just looked and it has the patches on it that are not shiny anymore and looks more like matte , could be a coincidence, but I let a neighbor hold and handle it for a few minutes and shortly after that is when I noticed these non shiny patches . Anyone ever dealt with this before? Yes I will be cerakoting it and the barrel so I know it doesn’t really matter , just kind of confused me cause I love this thing so much. Hard to see in the photos but if you look close you can see.

Looks like a not so complete polishing job to me. Shouldn't matter since its being coated. Contact defiance

You and your neighbor are going blind.

You don’t see the spots that are not shiny?

I did just read a thread about how the quality of defiance was going to go down hill after the company sold.... wasn't expecting it to happen to the actions already built though.

I have a stainless barrel that does that when you grab it with oily hands or sometimes on a cold day....

This makes me feel better , it’s getting coated anyways , just didn’t know if the steel had been compromised

You and your friend were fondling that fine piece of, um, uh,,,,oh, yeah steel. Keep that up and you will go blind.

All good. It would polish out if you really wanted…

But a word to the wise, don’t cerakote the raceways unless you REALLY know what you’re doing. Get it PVD or DLC coated or something instead. Cerakote, especially with how thick most applicators spray it on, is a really quick way to fuck up the feel of a Defiance.

No, that is not normal, and we have very stringent quality controls, with each action undergoing multiple inspections. Please shoot an email to [email protected] with your serial number, photos, and your contact information. We'd like to look into it to ensure that whatever/wherever that is an issue, it is resolved ASAP.

Strange how our quality allegedly went down after a sale that only happened a week ago, and nothing has changed except the title of ownership. Just sayin...

That’s what I was thinking. I love my action I got from y’all , keep it up , I should have been more cautious and not played with it so much before cerakoting

I was shaking my head the other day. The new owner was getting a little snippy with folks on Instagram… not saying He wasn’t right but probably a poor look on the announcement day. But what do I know.

We are all hoping nothing changes.

the McMillan stocks that I have seen coming out since their purchase by the same owner have been just as pristine as the old.

Given the very inappropriate remarks attacking him personally and directly, you shouldn't really blame him for responding in the way that he did, and that is all we will say on that matter. That said, Defiance both before and after the acquisition, is a family. As a family, we do not condone the behavior of anyone attacking anyone on our social media pages, whether it be attacking a competitor, another customer, or the owner of the company. We respect others, and we expect the same in return, period.

I get it. I don’t blame him at all I’d of done the same and not worried about what people think.

Keep cranking out what y’all have and it won’t ever be an issue As you know.
You guys built an empire in a very short time.

We all want to see it continue to succeed. I love badass home state of Montana companies and will always go out of my way to purchase with them when possible.

“youns”? Haven’t heard that since I was a kid in western PA.

@Defiance Machine - still loving my Deviant and I’m still happy I chose Defiance for this last build. Keep up the good work.

Also, really liked the Machinist Monday vids…mostly because I don’t know squat about machining so it was all very new and interesting to me.

Finally wrt comments on new ownership…don’t let the bastards grind you down.

Lol. Kentucky dialect at its finest

 

[Dildobaggins]

I sent an action into defiance that I galled the piss out of. They ended up replacing the whole action, free of charge die to my mistake. The new one I got had some spots on the inside of the action that were incredibly dull and almost rough. Sucks, but I'm not sending it back in, it shoots fine and functions fine, I'm not trying to win a beauty contest, but with the money you pay for that action id send it back in, they will take care of you.

We are hoping to do more video content, including the Machinist Mondays, once the transition has settled. One of the resources that is coming with the new ownership to Defiance, is a great videographer, so it should be exciting.

A good friend of mine, who could fuck up a glass of water, galled the shit out of lugs on a Mausingfield....and they were supposed to be "ungallable".
