·Happy Holidays Folks,
My 995 was wearing the ATI stock since day one ( brand new) and I've gone to the range with it three times only, Probably 400 rounds throu it...
And by the way always shot flawlessly.
Back from the range last time, took it apart, and I was shocked to see that the bolt was cracked at the area where it holds the firing pin ( two lips on top of the firing pin were cracked all the way). I could see it better with flashlight!!
Used only regular FMJ from Sellier & Bellot ( It's good stuff).
Customer service was awsome, took it back even with the ATI stock and told me on the phone that ATI stock is never a good housing for this gun specially for the firing assembly, sooner or later some issue will appear.
They mentioned that the solid feel with ATI does not mean a good functionality ( they have couple of guns with ATI stock for testing there and they did not approve them).
The gun is back wearing new original stock, extra magazine and few more parts here and there ( and my ATI stock separatley) and gess what?? The darn bolt still cracked!!. I explained alot to them but the guy did not see it!!!
I will call them tomorrow to see what can be done, I'm sure they'll take care of it..But for you guys, just be careful and make sure to inspect this gun in that mentioned area ( do not forget the flashlight there)...
All I know is I will not put the ATI stock back and I will not exchange safety for looks!!!!
Be safe...
