1.       Breakage of the spring guide, the bolt handle, or the piston associated with the trigger assembly

However, we want to point out that the majority of the user errors resulting in breakage of the spring guide, the bolt handle or the piston, which is associated with the trigger assembly.

·         Short stroking the bolt when attempting to pull it back to the rear resulting in a failure to properly cock the rifle, resulting in the user letting go of the bolt too early and the bolt slams forward from being under spring tension back into the receiver. This weakens/damages parts fasts.

·         The bolt is not pulled straight to the back and straight forward back into the receiver, resulting in warped or bent cylinders, which will impact how the spring guide, bolt handle, and piston function. Usually an occurrence when the user does not know how to properly work the action of a bolt action rifle or does not have the strength to overcome the spring tension smoothly

·         Once bolt is pulled to the rear and properly cocked, users slam the bolt back to its original position too forcefully. This weakens/damages parts fasts.

·         Once bolt is pulled to the rear and properly cocked, users accidentally pull the bolt handle down before pushing the bolt back into the receiver resulting in broken bolt handles and severe damages to the whole bolt assembly

Another reminder to the users is that the strength of certain parts of the rifle may be affected in extreme temperature changes (during transportation).  Please kindly advise customers to contact Leapers/UTG customer service team for immediate warranty support.
