You are right Calvin, I recieved it at Prince Georges Trap Club on Jan 28, I tried to shoot it there that day and found out that I could not shoot it without a release trigger, ( I started flinching again) I only fired 6 shells out of it and flinched twice, so I knew that I had to send it out for a release, a few shooters handled the gun just to look it over, and all agreed that it is a really nice looking BT99, no one noticed any imperfections on the gun, ( Pobaly because there wasn't any to notice) two days later I went to Vegas for a week and the Gun sat in my safe, when I got back I sent it to _____ ( I dont want to say who until I get this resolved ( because right now I am one PISSED OFF POLOCK ) for a Release Trigger and a Gracoil w/ adj. LOP and adjustable comb, I sent it out to them on the 16 of March, and I got it back ( 5 weeks later ) the 20 th. of April, ( last friday ) Naturally I could not wait to try my new Release Trigger, so I put in a snap cap closed the gun pulled the trigger and NOTHING HAPPENED, the release did not work, Now it would work if I held the trigger back as I closed the gun,and had to keep holding it back until I sholdered it to fire, well I was confused as to this operation, because my Kolar and or my Perazzi does not set this way, so I called the installer of the trigger, and he said that they must of forgot to file some little piece in the reciever, and my instructions were to send it back and that they would fix it,( Now Picture me getting more and more pissed at this moment )Ok now with all of that said I looked at the Bill that they sent me for the work, of which I did not have a problem with,$865.00 but I did have a BIG Problem with a little note at the botton of the Bill, it said " Comment :"Trigger Guard is cracked - it should not hamper the performance of the release", well at this time I am about Shitting a brick!!so I called them back and asked them what the Hell is going on, and that is was not cracked when I sent it to them, they claim that they recieved it that way, and they also said that they did not crack it, they said that it must of happened in shipping, Now the shop that I sent it to is an authorized Browning repair facility, and they did not even have the common courtsy to call me and tell me that they recieved it cracked ( I have a problem beleving that ) they did all of the above mentioned work and sent it back to me with a cracked Trigger Guard...and after I called them thay told me to file a claim with the Postal Service because that is where it must of got cracked, Now let me say that I had packaged it in a carton that was sent to my son from Kolar which originaly contained His new Twisted Sister stock, the carton was in perfect condition,inside the carboard carton is a well fitted styrofoam cutout made just for a buttstock, I just had to cut away a little of the foam to pack the Bt99 stock in it, after they got it and did there work they sent it back to me in the same well packaged carton, which even when I got it back shows no damage to the carton at all, thay still claim that it could of been done by "SHOCK" Well I may have been Born at Night but as the saying goes IT WASN'T LAST NIGHT" The gun is back there now so I am not devulging there name until I get this resolved, My next step may well be Small claims court, I even called the place where I bought the Gun HI-GRADE SHOOTERS SUPPLY and asked them if they have ever sent out a gun with a cracked trigger guard and they said that that has never happened, and I do believe them.( _____'s The Place that did the work said that if the post office did not do it it must of been sent new to me that way. Now I am attaching some pics that I took after I got it back of the trigger guard and of the carton, as anyone can plainly see the trigger guard was cracked as it was being removed from the reciever, if you are familuar with the new style trigger guards on the BT99 there is No screw in the back, instead there is a retaining pin that has to be removed fron the reciever after the stock has been removed then after the pin is removed you have to turn the trigger guard at a right angle and that will detach it from the front mounting, well the crack is in the front of the trigger guard, so anyone can clearly see that when the pin was removed that someone pulled the rear portion down to far and cracked the guard in the front.
I am attaching some pics Tell me what you think.<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank">
