b18prl Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Can anyone tell me if this is ok to send it back to STI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent1k1 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 First guess is yes. Unless you were trying to fit a metal grip, how did that break? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b18prl Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Trent, both of my guns are broke, Bedell has a cracked slide and this one has a cracked frame. I shot this MCgun at WAC last Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerBaron Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 It won't hurt to ask. They seem to break from loose or missing trigger guard screw(s). I would certainly at least ask STI if they'll warranty it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now have to drop xxxxxx dollars into it for a backup if/when my new gun gets here. PCC? I have a CO setup you are welcome to shoot if you want.

caspian guy Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Never seen one break there berore... If sti wouldn't warranty that I think i'd be sorely tempted to find someone to tig that, clean it up and redrill the hole and see how long it lasted. Or maybe mill that off, drill and tap the frame and fabricate a part to replace that? (Never heard of that being done before so maybe there's a reason you can't) random thoughts.

BeerBaron Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Was the cracked slide tri-topped? I can't tell for sure in the pic if it's just a flat top or tri top. Not a good run!! congrats on 1st b at nats. Winning your grade at nationals is a great achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt weighted it and said it's 9.xxx oz so I contacted Jared at Binary he said it's 10.2 oz. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dis-1-Shooter Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I had one brrak in about the same place. The whole "tab" broke away from the frame. STI gave me a new frame. Your milage may vary due to where your broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brytec Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Go to this site http://stiguns.com/contact-us/warranty/ and fill it out. Ryan will get back to you and take care of it. I just sent mine yesterday cuz mine cracked also. He asked for some pics and then will email you RMA with instructions and shipping label. Hope this helps. Best of luck!
