Lithgow Crossover Timber .22

[Wylie27]

So it's only 5 days until allegedly I get the rifle back, I wouldn't know though as I haven't heard a peep out of them despite two requests for updates.

So f&$k their warranty when it comes back I am getting a trigger job done and maybe I will keep it.

So sick of not shooting... My wife is getting edgy too.. As I don't want to go and sit watch her lol.

& 3yrs ago it was 3 months for the rifles release.......

sorry

[AusTac]

Dropping mine back in today for the ' final fix '

[Wylie27]

Good luck Austac, I will let you know if it does fix it...

[sandgroperbill]

I was seriously looking at a la101, my brother was seriously looking at two la102s, I know a couple of other people that were considering them, none of which will now be purchasing these rifles.

[Wylie27]

Glad to help sandgroper...

In my eyes they need to fix this disaster up and make amends. But they won't

[sandgroperbill]

As I said earlier, it's not about the original issues. You'll always get the occasional issue. Its the after market service that counts, and from what I'm reading, there is none. That is totally unacceptable to me.

Final fix? Is that the new ejector spring?

[Wylie27]

Agreed the disaster is their mis management. Even now as my rifle is in, no news or updates etc...

Not to sure mate, i quizzed them on it during the emails but they ignored my questions about the work/parts replacement that was going to be carried out on my rifle so i guess i'll see when i get it back

[simplependulum]

Shot mine on Sunday for 100+ rounds, no issues at all, huge relief.....

[Yelp]

Good you got one from the winning batch

[Wylie27]

Hey simple...

Is she new? I remember that feeling of shooting it flawlessly!! tightening the groups up. Hitting steel plates 200 metres away.

I hope she stays that way for you and gives you long service with no interruptions.

17 pages !
Is the firearm THAT s**ty, or perhaps promising so much in the beginning ?

Congrats hope it stays for a lifetime.

Yes, it's new.
Damn, didn't know those issues can be shown later...

[AusTac]

Mine was, and still is awesome, i hardly feed it out of a magazine which is why it took me a while to notice/have the feeding issue effect me but once it was there it was there no matter what variables there were since its new new im sure the've fixed it by now, one would hope they improve as production goes on

[Wylie27]

Yeah unfortunately after about a 1000 rounds mine developed problems..

I just got an email back from Lithgow Arms, my rifle will be shipped back tomorrow and they say it is fixed.

Subsequent follow up email I get the impression the ejection plate wasn't the only issue and there were issues with the replacement magazine I was given too.

It was giving the bullet to much of an angle and causing the bolt to miss the bullet completely.

Which would explain why it came back worse than when it went in..

Hopefully if the shooting gods play it right I will at the range on Sunday..

Then Monday it's going in for a trigger job lol

[rsj223]

Cross my fingers for ya mate.

[Wylie27]

Thanks rsj... However just got an update. There is still issues with the rifle and they may not make the 5th of Feb...

Atleast I was called...

Stuff that, I think if I take mine out again and its still stuffed I'll loose it.

[<<Genesis93>>]

I think its sad, but honestly a smidge predictable, that there would be 18 pages of discussion of the crapness of the new lithy 22....

Ideally it would be the other way.... I sure though that the vast majority operate flawlessly.

[Wylie27]

Genesis you would want to hope so.

To me it's broken there is an issue. It happens. I am in IT I know s**t just breaks.

It's the customer service that makes the difference, the conversation.

If they come to me proactively and tell me it's still an issue that is better than me chasing them up for that update..

There's been no talk of replacement or a loan, or anything.

4 months and I can guarantee that my rifle sat there for a week after I shipped it with no one looking at it as they thought they knew the issue and on the day it is suppose to come back they do the final test....

That's the problem... It's not the rifle...

[Wylie27]

Ohh they just know how to toy with my emotions.

They shipped the rifle back, so my dealer may have it tomorrow OR Monday.......

[Wylie27]

It is home and back in my safe..... Will test on Sunday.

[<<Genesis93>>]

Hey Wylie27, if there are further issues, take some photos of the mag, lips, feed ramp....plenty on here might like to see whats going on... this is now about national honour dang it!!

Good luck

[Wylie27]

I will do.

Can someone take a pic of those things on their LA101 and the bolt too?

Edit: just ran 6 magazines of snap caps through it and all extracted.. It didn't do that before...

Cheers

[rsj223]

It is home and back in my safe..... Will test on Sunday.

Cant wait to hear how it go's good luck this should be the one

[Wylie27]

Well just got back from the range....

170 rounds and zero failures.. So that is what 34 magazine changes?!?.

Got a bit fatigued towards the end and the trigger definitely needs to be lightened.

Maybe it will stay in my safe now

[sandgroperbill]

Interesting firing position. What is it? upside down prone?
