about a month ago i bought a pmr30 from a gunshop i work at(part time) paid 500.00 for it, i also bought 500 rounds of ammo (all different kinds)
got giddy as a school girl on prom nite!,but had to wait 2 week to shoot it!
took it to the range the first day, i shot one box of winchester silver box (not sure what the weight) and it jammed 2 times. i wasent worried, after buying the ammo i looked up on line and everybody said not to use that ammo!
next box was a hornady varmit round, all 50 fired no jams, no problems...but it shot high and to the left! good group, but high and left!
where we were shooting is close to the gunshop between chandler and boonville. we stopped in (i'm looking for hornady critical defense in 22 mag) and i asked if they had any mags for the pmr30. they said no, we dont carry the pmr 30, its junk!...he said they still have tons of problems with them...i said i think they have worked out all the bugs...employee told me no in about ten years it'll fall apart, i said well it has a lifetime warranty, i'll send it back and have it fixed at no charge, his reply was its a ten year warranty(wow the owners guide said lifetime!) and they will have dropped it by then!,my reply was ok you have a nice day!
(so if any of you have a pmr 30 be prepared for your gun to give up the ghost after 10 years)
so i go hame and put it in the safe, as i am busy and didnt have time to clean it, so on friday the 12th i pulled it out to clean it, and noticed the front sight was about a 16th of a inch to the right! AH HA thats the problem!.
so last saturday i took it to work to see if we had a allen wrench that small...nope not one, so i go online and look, the screw that hold's the front sight is a .05 torx, its smaller that width of a grain of rice!, after the shop closed i went to sears, nope not in stock, they could order one but it was 18.00 and 3 weeks to get it! they said try radio shack, so the next day i went to radio shack, menards, 2 gun shops,and three tool shops.
so as a latch ditch effort, i called keltec on monday the 15th, i was worried that they would want me to send it back, i talked to tim, and told him about the problem with the sight, he said that they would send out the wrench i need, i then said that i cant wait to carry that bad boy,i told him i think i paid too much, but i had to have it.he told me he talked to a guy who paid 1500 for one from gunbroker,then he told me about the only place that he knew of that made holsters for it. i gave him the name of two others and then we talked about the gun for a bit, then i asked about the price of the torx wrench, he said no charge!
on saturday i got home and in the mail were two torx wrenches, one that needed and one other size i didnt.
i guess the customer service from keltec is always like that, i orderd 5 of the recoil buffers for it, and they came in the same time frame, and i got 1 free
so

(after i adjust the sight)
