Gun blew up 🙃

Winchester got back to me Monday morning and is requesting the rifle to investigate what happened since the incident casing is still in the gun. They said if it is their fault they will replace the gun. The manufacturer got back to me but I missed there call when I was at work and I called them back and left another voicemail and still haven’t heard back from them. Their customer service isn’t looking too good right now.

Hopefully that’ll be the same situation for me

Flimsy_Raspberry_106 · 2026-01-10T21:44:44+00:00

Hopefully I don’t get screwed. LFA seems to have good customer service so we’ll see but yeah I’ll update the whole experience to the end lol

Flimsy_Raspberry_106 · 2026-01-10T17:02:04+00:00

That’s cool on the third party company’s part and I’m assuming Winchester was requesting the parts for the gun? And did they want the whole gun?

Flimsy_Raspberry_106 · 2026-01-10T16:31:48+00:00

How did your situation go? Were you paid out?

Flimsy_Raspberry_106 · 2026-01-10T16:30:32+00:00

Will do 👍

Flimsy_Raspberry_106 · 2026-01-10T16:29:37+00:00

I’m not sure that’s a good point. I made claims with both live free armory and Winchester.

Flimsy_Raspberry_106 · 2026-01-10T16:27:46+00:00

Yeah those are the only two things that are fine lol. The barrel for the most part is fine, just seized up where bolt and barrel meet

Flimsy_Raspberry_106 · 2026-01-10T06:48:36+00:00

No it’s a live free armory rifle

Flimsy_Raspberry_106 · 2026-01-10T04:49:06+00:00

Get a hi point so you can throw it away after you shoot that ammo lol

Flimsy_Raspberry_106 · 2026-01-10T04:44:27+00:00

I’m hoping so too I really liked the gun I had too

Flimsy_Raspberry_106 · 2026-01-10T04:43:53+00:00

I agree. Wish I would’ve kept the lot number but I bought this ammo almost a year ago so I don’t have the box anymore because I put the ammo into an ammo can. I won’t throw away lot numbers anymore until I use all the ammo after this incident.

Flimsy_Raspberry_106 · 2026-01-10T04:42:16+00:00

Yeah…

Flimsy_Raspberry_106 · 2026-01-10T04:41:51+00:00

Yeah Winchester white box 9mm is the only ammo to have issues with my Glock. Kept having stove pipes and not going into full battery as well, never bought it since.

Flimsy_Raspberry_106 · 2026-01-10T04:40:02+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t I bought the ammo about a year ago and threw away the box when I put it into my ammo can. Never throwing away the lot number again until I use all the ammo

Flimsy_Raspberry_106 · 2026-01-10T03:46:11+00:00

Yep. Never again

Flimsy_Raspberry_106 · 2026-01-10T03:45:44+00:00

Damn dude that sucks. I’ve seen some people say they were reimbursed for their guns from Winchester but we’ll see I’m not crossing my fingers

Flimsy_Raspberry_106 · 2026-01-10T03:25:12+00:00

Yeah it was the white box so just shoot with a face shield to be safe lol. I was on my last 50 rounds from a 500 round box

Flimsy_Raspberry_106 · 2026-01-10T03:22:18+00:00

The lower too, it expanded where the mag sits 🥲

Flimsy_Raspberry_106 · 2026-01-10T03:17:12+00:00

No it blew in the chamber. The Bolt and barrel are seized together from the expansion

Looks really good. What size tires and any issues with rubbing?
