You done a video showing how clean the chokes are kept, and how clean everything was before they went back to Teague. Except the choke in the top barrel so we don't know really how clean the chokes were in the gun.
The very first picture of the chokes in the opening gambit. If you click on the picture and click to zoom in, the bottom choke looks, to me, that it is not fully in, seems to protrude a bit more than the top choke.
I said in an earlier comment that you must have been shooting full/full?, as the picture of the dirty choke is the full choke, and in the top barrel. You said that was fitted the night before and was tightened in the car park, but it is the bottom barrel that has blown.
The 2 internal pictures in the report to me look like there is a gap between the choke and the seat.
I don't doubt that that you keep you gun clean and in top condition, and hope you have a good outcome with the insurance. It just seems to me there is some things don't quite ring true.
Incredible.
I probably shouldn’t even waste my time responding to this but nonetheless.
Yes, you’re right.. silly me not thinking to remove the undamaged, seemingly irrelevant choke in the video - lacking the forward thinking to consider Teague would use it in an attempt to create a convenient narrative.
Next - the chokes were pristine the night before. That’s just a fact. Whether you believe that or not is your prerogative of which you are entitled.
Your comment in terms of bottom choke not being fully seated - well. It is. Even in the photos uploaded that’s obvious. Happy to upload another 2-3 photos - just for you.
And yes. Full and Full (a pair) were added the night before. I bought two.
And finally..
(Yes admittedly you have struck a chord with your utter nonsense)
I wasn’t going to mention this in the thread because I have great respect and didn’t think it was going to add anything but I was contacted this week by
a 3rd party -
3rd party asked to be sent the report and I obliged.
3rd party wasn’t best pleased with the contents nor the handling, offering to have a conversation on my behalf. I refused, given I don’t expect it and frankly it’s not their problem.
Perhaps you’re just better informed
@tiptop.
EDITED - Removed name upon reflection. Unfair to bring others into this conversation.
For a high tech company I can't understand how they have managed to take such crap photos of the inside of the barrel, we have a hand in one picture holding the barrel when someone takes a picture with, by the looks, their mobile phone from the monobloc
I would have thought they would have tried to take a picture with a borescope inspection camera to show that the choke was seated correctly in both barrels before even removing the top one, surely with the work they do they have this equipment
Agreed Colin.
I’ll be giving them a call tomorrow, and thanks to many of you on this thread I’ll be raising a number of substantiated queries and concerns.
