Then pulled it apart and worked out how it functions and bingo found the bent bit. May not be the cause in your case but I will find the exploded parts manual and PM it to you. They are otherwise absolutely 100% reliable (I almost said bullet proof) as you know yourself. The other thing if it is new and under warranty he should camp up at the place he bought it.

Plastic or wood? I am with Z on his fault finding as I had the same problem. Got a new boyds stock and after inletting and a wee bed job its all good.
