Benton, thanks for sharing that story. That's the first complaint I've heard about an FEG.
There are many old threads on TFL about them, most are complimentary. I've owned one for over a year and enjoy it very much. Reliable, accurate, that great BHP feel..what's not to like?
FYI FEG is the maufacturer for Hungary's military arms. From what I have heard, they are generally considered to have good quality control, though not always the cleanest looks. Some machining marks, etc. My gun bears that out. It has some machining marks in non-visible places, but it functions properly.
Overall, I think its a great gun for the money. If I had a problem like yours, Benton, I would expect warranty to cover a repair or replacement.
