Terible service from Traditions

[tatman731]

Does anyone else on here have experience dealing with Tradions Firearms as for service. They supposedly have a liftime warrany on their weapons. Thats BS! Had a hammer break in two peices while shooting and they tell me its gonna cost 73.00 bucks to replace! How is that not a manufacturing defect? You cant find good service anymore. We need an American company that sales American made products. I mean for what they chrge,pretty sure we could make a better product at not too much more money. I bet :cursing: everyone here would love to have that happen.

question, why is a hammer $73? I think that price may have been a new lock. I know some folks at traditions and will ask about this. If you want, pm me your name and phone number and I can forward that up to one of the higher staff members at traditions.

$75 for a hammer wouldn't surprise me from Traditions one bit. A couple of years ago I inquired about a replacement stock from them for a Shenandoah rifle and they wanted $475 and the whole gun brand new was $520!

I'm sorry but this doesn't sound right to me. I called them about a replacement ramrod and got a quote of $7, under $10 shipped to my door. Id go with contacting higher ups about this.

No I have had no dealings with them However you seem to be getting standard 2013 treatment!

I had a trigger guard and trigger break on my .50 DeerHunter a few years ago. I called Traditions and the lady I spoke with was very helpful. The part was not in stock but she put it on back order and I received it in the time frame quoted. And the price was more than reasonable.

I had some dealings with Traditions.. for the most part all positive.

Well after all the complaining, I received a brand new hammer in the mail today. Turns out they give great service just bad communication! At least they do honor their warranty.

It's especially good to hear after the way Lyman seems to be lately.

I also own an old 1985 lyman trade rifle that I made the stock for out of walnut from my farm. It still shoots better than I can hold.
