A while back (more than a year) I bought an M6 secondhand. First thing I did was wrap the barrels, replace the hinge pin with a bolt and wingnut, and take the trigger guard off.
A few months ago, I finally got tired of having no sight spring (the rear sight would flop back and forth and I had to hold it for certain shots) and the fact that empties wouldn't always extract (the extractor was out of spec)
I tried to purchase parts from Springfield, but they don't sell parts, so I sent it in for service. Less than two weeks later, here it is all fixed - ZERO BALANCE DUE!
Turns out that the lifetime warantee is for the life of the gun, not the original owner. Sweet.
