LOL Hausser1 . i remember watching that .
DWM from what i understand they are all made by bergera but the wolf and optimas don't have the extra rifling passes to assure it's a premium barerel worthy of having the bergera label stamped on the barrel of the gun . obviousally CVA has a huge problem , there's threads and commenrts here (and other forums) about the horrible barrels on their 45s and there's a thread here about "Midway USA covering up CVA 45 cal junk"
https://www.modernmuzzleloader.com/threads/midway-usa-covering-up-cva-45-cal-junk.55526/hopefully i'll have the oppurtinity to share a different opinion on midway customer support .
i've been very happy with my other midway purchases . and hopefully they will right this wrong and not just keep their money and send me packing . my thread right here has over 500 views currently so i know folks are watching to see midway customer support in action with a truly %100 major problem with a product they sold and i'm guessing some will use my experience in deciding if they want to spend their money there .
i included a link to this thread when i sent midway the pic last night . robreds 50 mrx bore looks better than mine but it still isn't what i would expect in a "premium bergera barrel" . i don't know if he has swabbed or shot his yet and it will be interesting to see his results when he gets his thor sizing pack to try . i currently have zero faith in CVA and i just don't trust their guns now .
my hope is that MidwayUSA will keep my faith in them .
i know they don't make these guns but in the thread i linked to it's obvious they know there's a problem with the 45s (and now their 50s) but rather than deciding to not sell these cva mrx 45 guns they just lower the prices to almost 2/3 of what the 50s go for .
i didn't sleep much last night because of my frustration over this and my extreme concern that something that was bought for me by a family member in poor health is not gonna be the the gift they got me to remember them by that i can take pride in .
this mrx 50 is unusable . it's so over bored it won't even hold onto a cleaning patch and the rifling resembles the surface of the moon .
thank's for the support and letting me vent a litttle folks .
