I’m glad that you’re not taking any crap from them because yes when we are paying over $2,000 bucks for something and still need to spend another $500-$1000 bucks just to use these great products i have two that are under $500 bucks and they haven’t had a issue yet for over a year or two now but I totally understand what you’re saying and going through especially with customer service is what builds a business and if you don’t have that close your doors now because it’s just a matter of time have a great day my friend and hopefully you’ll have some good luck with the new one you received back
I recently pre-ordered a Sidewinder compact in .30. Any chance you can make a video showing the break-down of the lower breech block assembly? Agree with you 100%, one of the first things anyone should do upon receiving a sidewinder is to inspect that damn breech block….based on your unfortunate experience. Western has like zero info out there as far as disassembly of the weapon. I haven’t even seen an “explosion” graphic of the weapon showing all the parts and internals, o-rings etc.
I read somewhere that the barrel gap is around .008-.010". Even with that my mag still hangs up and won't index. I took my mags over to AOA after watching your last video. The kid at the store checked a few and my slugs fell out of all of them. He told me that Western is working on a slug specific mag. That might be BS. I'm ready to ditch this platform. I love my FX Impact M4.
@@JScott-wz2ug I've got my 3 mags and I'm happy. In hindsight....I may have gone a different direction. I want the U.S. made stuff and want to support Western but just not satisfied with the customer service.
It’s not just you. They were flat out rude to me about my rattler. They flat out insulted me. And previously to that on my omega air compressor. They gave me the wrong parts and refused to talk to me on the phone or email or text. The only reply I got from Tod was. You get what you get 🤦🤷♂️I will forever vote with my money. They and Fox air power will never! Get any money from me Ever.
@@FxFanBoy this is great information. Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm sorry you got screwed. I don't understand why people treat their customers so poorly. Customers should be valued so that they are happy to return. Guess these folks don't rely on return customers. After hearing your story, I'll never be a customer.
Sounds like buyers may need a gun lawyer, I mean who pays for the time lost and who pays for all the trouble and time consumption and interest on the money you spent ?
@@narrowpath2980 I spent over 2k. They fixed it. Be mindful of where you buy. Mail order from NY, you have to travel to NY to file a civil claim. Whatever state your retailer is located.
@@airgunsofidaho4886 have you guys refunded any guns? If so, which ones? What reason? Have you watched all of my videos on the Sidewinder? Any suggestions on a solid semi-auto with a removable magazine?
@@airgunsofidaho4886 I understand. I am at a point where I'm content with my Western but insist on remaining steadfast for other consumers until these magazine tolerance issues are resolved. The crack, I hope for the community, is only a one time issue.

@@sallutz absolutely
I put two scope rings on the pick rail and squeeze them with the tripod works great
@@johnschniederjan1683 nice!!! I've got a ton of rings. I'll have to try that

Very disappointing
So many flaws
Very smelly situation
No western lemons for me
Just get your money back

I did watch a few of your videos on the sidewinder. I can't recommend any semi auto airguns since I only have experience with my lsc sk 19 .25cal

Wanna Trade for an FX Impact M3?? :)
