Take them up to Woods & Water. They packaged mine, shipped it off and I had it back in about 4 weeks. Woods & Water charged me $13 for the shipping.

I like that idea.

UPDATE:

Checked today, gun is fixed, waiting to be shipped out. I think it's been a total of about 6 months since I shipped it. As far I can tell from their notes, they replaced the stocks with non-duratouch camo, and sent the gun out to be redipped. They also fixed a broken mag spring retainer that I had forgotten about. We will see when it gets here.

Well, got the gun back. They replaced the stocks with non duratouch. They claimed the redipped the gun, but if they did, they need to get out of the business. All the worn places in the finish around the loading port and ejection port are still there. It appears the barrel and gun are old mossy oak, and the stocks are the new variety. I didn't expect a new gun, but I did expect them to do what they said they were gonna do. I guess I should just be happy I have my gun back and the stocks no longer are tarpaper. Gonna give them a call and express my displeasure today.

That ain't worth a damn. Can ya post up some pics?

Dura touch was a bad idea from the get go.

That chit is terrible!!!

I am gonna get some pictures when I get home from work. I guess my ass is chapped because it took them 6 months to just put a set of stocks on it. If that was all you were gonna do, just mail me the damn things.

That's true and i agree they should've just shipped ya the parts...

If I had one these I think I would have ordered a B&C stock and sent the bill to Browning.

that looks like schit

^^^^THIS! NOT NO BUT HELL NO. THAT BS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE

Just remembered about the guy telling me it was stripped and ready to be sent out for redipping lol. Can’t wait to bring up that tidbit when I talk to them. They were closed
Friday. As said before, I didn’t expect a new gun, just for them to do what they said they were going to do. What would y’all consider a reasonable end to this situation? I don’t think I am going to send it back again. 6 months for this? Should I push for a new gun at this point, or just walk away admitting defeat and get it dipped out of pocket? I love the gun, just want it right. I know the camo is close, but I can tell a difference and I don’t like it.

On those Duratouch SX3's, is the whole gun coated in Duratouch or just the stock and fore end? If the receiver and barrel aren't coated then I can maybe see why they cheaped out and only redipped the stock set. Did they damage the gun while working on it or was the wear n' tear already present? I can definitely see your side also, especially if somebody at the factory specifically said they were gonna strip and re-dip the entire shotgun. I wouldn't want them touching it again regardless and would lean towards having it dipped in bottomland like you really wanted OR just dipping the barrel and action to match your new stock set.

The duratouch was on the stock set only. But I was told by them that they no longer manufacture the old MOBU and would redip the gun to match. I asked if I could pay and just have it dipped in bottomland and was told no. Even in the repair order it lists “strip and recamouflage” as being completed. Someone signed off on it. Maybe it was a gross error, but I don’t suspect so. We will see.

I got ya! Yeah if they told you they'd redip to match I'd be pissed off too...good luck with it bud, I hope they get it straightened out for you.

Well called and was told they typically do not recamo entire guns unless the pattern was no longer available. I replied that was the reason I sent the gun in, as it was an older break up pattern and not the newer version. The new stocks are close, but different. Was told the next step was to send it in an it would go to a Service supervisor for review. I apologized and reiterated that I was sorry to be a PITA and I didn't expect a new gun, just wanted done what I was told would be done. They have sent me a return label, but I am leaning towards not sending it in, and just having someone else refinish it, or leaving it like it is and just using it. I guess if I sent it in now, I might have it back for duck season next year.

Sell it and buy a Benelli.
