This is a curiosity question, more than a need for help.
We often see different brands talk about warranty. In my immediate circle of friends and associates, I have known just two that had to return a rifle for clear cut warranty.
One was a new .308 Browning bolt action that the bolt was just plain made wrong. It would not function in the action without a lot of shaking and forcing. It took a few months, but they gave him a whole new rifle and paperwork showing the old one was no longer his.
Mine was an S&W 15-22 that spit the extractor out during normal firing. They fixed it pretty quickly.
I know Remington had a large recall for defective trigger safeties on the 700 center-fire rifles, but that was a mass recall, not a simple warranty of a defective firearm.
When I worked in the shop, we would send lower priced handguns back for warranty pretty often, but never rifles, even lower tier AR's.
How many have had to send a new rifle back for warranty because it was defective?
