TDodge7 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 As of 12:00am 3/29 I have received my refund (most of what I paid). The lesson I've learned is that Century has a ridiculously over-complicated return process, and when you buy a Century PW87 there is a very high chance you're buying a project that won't function until it gets smithing, but if you expect a brand new gun to actually work then this one is not for you. If you go into it with this in mind they're probably not a horrible deal at $300 or under. I'm not sure how many of these they get back but I got two duds in a row so my guess is a lot, I suppose they both could have been out of spec, but I think they're all a little bit off in several areas. I'd still like to own one (that works) at some point but not until they make some changes, that or buy one that's already been smithed. In the meantime I've picked up a beautiful 1908 Remington auto loading shotgun (pre model 11), it's no good for cowboy action shooting but I've always wanted one and this one works quite well.

TDodge7 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 When I got my first replacement PW87 I called century and told them that the foregrip wood was all scratched up. I asked if I could buy a new set and they said that they don't make enough extras to sell them but that they did have a set they would send me since mine were scratched up. I had completely forgotten about it and had assumed they cancelled it because the next day I started the refund process. Well today I randomly get a set of fore grips in the mail and since I only got some of my money back on the refund I figure it's fair game to make some of that money back with these. Though it looks like they sent me 2 left fore grips (unless they're supposed to both be shaped the same). Anyone interested in either or both of these? http://i.imgur.com/2VTxzE6.jpg http://i.imgur.com/lmws8Ad.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ydCuDg4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDodge7 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 I figured that was the case, though both of the foregrips did come wrapped in one factory sealed bag so it seems someone at the factory thought they had a correct pair or they just send them out that way. Either way they're of no use to me so if anyone here can use them let me know and we'll work something out, if not I guess I'll stick them up on ebay or something.
