Lithgow Crossover Timber .22

You can understand manufacturing and production issues. But attitude and service like this is inexcusable. My brother was looking at purchasing at least one, more than likely two. After hearing about their service he has struck them from his list and will be looking elsewhere.

Not worth the hassles and risk hey.

[la101]

Its a real shame some of you guys have had dramas with your la101's, mine is still performing well and i would buy it again if i had my time over.

[sandgroperbill]

You could probably buy one of theirs

[Westaus]

Had my LA101 for about a year now with zero problems, it's been an awesome accurate well built gun.
Looking forward to getting a Lithy in 243!

Thats what I was hoping for get the .22 then the .223 and .308 all one brand Made in Aus

[Gibbo]

Might have been mentioned already but do we know what the twist rate for the new centrefires will be? In particular the 223. Can't seem to track them down on the interweb.

[Wylie27]

Rsj,

Got an update on your rifle?

[rsj223]

I need to send it back again but been looking for a car, just need to find some time to get it back to LGS once I get it back I will test then sell.

I did inquire via email but the response was to the affect, 'we need to keep some surprises for release'.

Yep, service is where it's at.

If you have a problem with something and the business takes responsibility and fixes it for you without drama it doesn't put you off, it makes you want to deal with them again.

Thanks... I will wait for Lithgow to shock and awe me with their announcement... will it be 9 or 12? Can't wait to find out.

[<<Genesis93>>]

I doubt it would be 12.... probably 9 or closer to 8 perhaps...Are the Steyrs not 7? Same hammer forge equipment?

Surely they can shell out for a couple of different hammer forge mandrels!??!

[rsj223]

Given back to LGS yesterday on its second trip to Lithgow, there was a smith there that said the crown is crap very poor.

They might have a few dozen revolving set always easier to have lots of the same rather than lots of different...
It might even be marketed as super tactical 223Rem, 1in7 for the heaviest tacticooool bullets, and that can be their edge

[sandgroperbill]

Or perhaps they might go 5R...

[<<Genesis93>>]

Why not.... its the trend isnt it, innovate by using century old ideas

[sandgroperbill]

They could use some of the old smle tooling... Actually, it would make sense...

1) they don't want to talk about twist
2) 5r is trendy atm
3) they used to mass produce smles

Its all about trend..... will it also have quad pic rails ?
These guys didnt produce the smellie... theyre the frogs who bought in years later, years after the tooling was converted into HQ holden bumper bars

Nice wood. I don't think that they're being imported to the USA but if they are, or will be, they'd be one I'd look at.

Depends how you feel about having to top load the last round in the mag

[Wylie27]

Or reload the last round when it stove pipes.

[Gwion]

Well, hope they sort it out quick smart from here, RSJ!

I'd be writing to them and insisting on a barreled action swap out and full factory range testing. I'd also be strongly suggesting that including a factory light trigger free of charge and covering your postal expenses would be the beginning of making up for the extreme inconvenience you have suffered by this poorly handled issue.

Finally got my fishing reel back after 4 months, by the way. No charge for repair or postage.

[AusTac]

Did any of you guys get a lithgow arms stubby holder? Saw mine this morning on a pile of junk and saw it had " the crossover won't let you down ". Lets me down every damn time on the 5th round

[Wylie27]

Austac no I don't have one and if I did I would have sacrificed it with fire..

What pisses me off is their lack of updates or hey we stuffed up and we are sorry..

I feel sorry for our troops if this is the level of quality that they receive with their equipment.

It will take a long time for me to trust them and even longer for me to stop telling people how much pain they will get from one.

[Wylie27]

Was in a gun shop on Saturday and a guy was looking to buy the crossover 22lr and I just told him my story and he put it down and bought a CZ.

Hopefully that's someone who is saved the pain

There was a guy in my LGS buying ammo (.22) listened in and he was over the moon about taking out his new Lithgow I guess I was to late

[Wylie27]

That would have been me when I first got it...
