I have a 12 year old 22 Lr short Barrel failure , Cock hammer trigger wont release the hammer , but lift up on the hammer and you can release it ( too much play in hammer Pivot ) , I bought my 1st Mini ( B Ser ) in 1975 ish and have sent several in for Lifetime Warranty repair without any issue ,however now NAA wants me to have a FFL ship it both way's $ 75.00 each way plus my & there shipping , I'm a lifelong Gunsmith and can without any problem do the repair saving $ 175.00 on a $ 200.00 gun , how many flaming hoop's are they going to make me leap through to simply order the parts , 1 hammer $ 18.00 and 1 screw $ 3.00 ?        Thank's Folks

Lifetime warranty my arse

NAA is under new management.
They came out with all new rules for the forum.
I guess everything is changing with the company.

it certainly does. same thing happened to seecamp

New Management .............. new rules ................ often spells the sinking of the ship. NAA built the reputation of a Company the buyer could depend on to make and keep things right when it comes to their product. Seems they may be heading in the opposite direction these days. Only time will truly tell. 

Same thing happened with Charter Arms back in the day. Until they were last bought out by the original owners child they had gone bankrupt and built themselves quite the negative reputation. Seems NAA may be trying to do the same thing.

so what is the warranty now? 1 year? Do you have to pay shipping both ways from day one? Seecamp went from having the best warranty in the business to the worst warranty when Larry got sick and sold it.

You squeeze the last drop of juice from a lemon and scrape the peeling to make as money on a glass of lemonade as you can.
It doesn't matter what it tastes like. The peeling gives the lemonade a bitter taste in the background that lingers.
Just make those pennies.

They don't realize (I think) that most people that buy a Mini will come back for another or two or three. The loss of customer support will hurt their bottom line and that is why companies are in business.

Oh well, their choice. It may work in favor of NAA. Then again maybe not.

Long time on the phone but I got my parts ordered 32 bucks not too bad - has anyone had the hammer pivot hole hog out ? it's very loose and the hammer would not release from the trigger sear without lifting the hammer , I ordered a hammer Screw and 2 hand springs

  Sounds like a heavily used gun using high powered ammo . Its always good to have extra parts around especially springs . Good luck .  

Stingers & Sniper SSS and  CCI Shotshells

Installed the new hammer & pivot screw without effect and after closer inspection the trigger is bent so I bent it back and it works fine , however I don't trust it after being bent and bent again so ordered a new one and 2 more hand springs after the others went flying   

Sweet Moses $75.00 bucks each way thats pure bulls*it . I know I was taking a chance but I would ship my firearms by USPS Priority Mail saying it an antique and insured . Never as I ever doubted as least seven times to NAA and affiliates and received them all back the same way , go figure that would change dang it . Everyone everywhere are running scared of those *** lawyers (AKA) ambulance chasers . I'm pretty much my own gunsmith for the most part but that warranty is a definite must on a new weapon . If the gun is defective the shipping should be covered also if not never again would I buy from that manufacturer , double on that never ..           

After 4 hand springs flying to parts unknown I finally got it back together with new hammer trigger & pivot screw , $ 55 bucks later it's working , the trigger was bent & the hammer pivot hole and screw were hogged out but its crisp like new but now with a ugly black main screw why they sent a black screw for a stainless gun I have no idea but it wont be in any shows so I don't care , however with the service I also don't think I'm buying the Sidewinder & the 22 short I've wanted so next choice is a taurus 22 Lr 942 snubby and a LCP 2 22 Lr and NAA don't get my $ 750.00   

  Believe me Flyinbiker you'll find those springs in your stocking feet someday . A word from the wise ,Ha ,Ha . OUCH DANG IT .    

Fixed and back in it's box -W- a black pivot screw ?-why-?

funny you say that OV 10 I was thinking the same thing

  I'm concerned about the price of all these procedures . $75.00 bucks for each way NO FREAKING WAY . I'll throw the gun away before I'm subjected to those prices . Some companies over state their importance and I hope NAA regains its senses  before we all find other guns of high interest especially with their forums . If enough of us avid gun nuts pushed it we could maybe change any gun forum to a liking . I suggest we all buy as many useable parts we can muster before something extra miserable happens to NAA and parts will be limited to buy or find . I bought anything and everything Freedom Arms had lying around and believe I emptied its racks including some beautiful factory mini grips , talked to Wayne Baker (past owner) at the time to make sure he nothing left , real nice guy to talk too .
