this is true wisdom from IG. I have screwed up enough things (not guns) trying to fix things so I don't have to send them back with the hassle it entails. I would have been better to make the return.
Luckily I have not had issues with firearms. But this wisdom applies to non firearms things as well (cars, computers, etc). Even is something is out of warranty, unless you are really an expert in it, consider letting the experts at least look at it.
When I lived in Germany I bought a used Mazda 323. Long past warranty. It started to have issues and I spent a lot more money trying to fix it (because I was scared it would cost a fortune) than it eventually cost me to take it to a dealer and have them diagnose and fix it (needed new spark plug wiring harness was all).
Those companies I have had good CS experiences with really make me feel good about giving them more business. (Not the only reason, but one reason I buy Apple products -- they have always gone above and beyond when I had issues)
So, take IG's wisdom to heart. When your new mark 100 blaster is not working right, avail yourself of the CS of the manufacturer or distributor. And if they have crappy CS, remember that as well in the future. CS is half of what you are buying. Don't keep buying products from those people who don't stick up for their products.
