M92 Magazine Plug Screw/Rossi Cust Svc Sks
Posted: 18 Jul 2013 10:28
Just got off the phone with Rossi Customer Service, or should I say Customer Deflection Service. I wanted to get a replacement mag plug screw for the one on my M92 (got it last December), buggered by the ham-handed assembler. After ~30 minutes on hold and then waiting again while the computer user looked it up, he informed me that the screw comes in an assembly: mag tube, spring, follower, pin, plug and screw, and I would have to return the rifle to them at my expense to have the screw replaced. No amount of logic could sway this resolute defender of System Rules. What utter nonsense - what B.S.! What gun shop/repair center doesn't have screws??? Forget about customer service from these idiots.
So, does anyone know what size the screw is - it's the short one (I've seen two on different exploded views, one short and one long which I think has a non-threaded protrusion on the end that fits into a corresponding hole/recess in the barrel). I don't want to remove it until I have a replacement, and then I can see if the threads are buggered on the plug. I should be able to get it out, but the slot is rounded off on the tightening sides
Thanks,
