Boots:
Boots, in all fairness the dealer can't know anything more about that shotgun after you got it than what you told him. Neither can we.
What you told him and us both is "i restaked the latch and reassemble the gun." The dealer's response to your statement is reasonable.
If you did restake the latch, you did do something radical to repair the gun and you probably voided the factory warranty. If you did not restake the latch, you shouldn't have said so: you confused the dealer, us, and the situation.
Olde English Outfitters is a reputable company. It's been in business for quite a while. Mitch English, one of the proprietors, is a moderator on the 1911 Forum as "Guy Sajer." Although I don't know him, he's clearly someone who spends his own time helping gun owners.
Whatever momentary gratification these angry complaints on the Internet might give the poster, they create a lot of sound and fury and rarely seem to accomplish anything except confusion.
Note: I wrote this message shortly after you posted your last message but was interrupted before I could post it. After I posted it I saw that in the interim Lee Lapin responded with my major point. He speaks good sense.
and i really didn't like their response...they make it seem like i did something radical to repair the gun, but in reality, all i tried to do was put the latch where it's supposed to go, and when it was put back, it poppped right back out after a few cycles...
