Yokel Matt 918 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Do a one-for-one variation swap on you ticket. It won't cost you anything and should save the bother Quote Link to post

trappa 517 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 i just meant that where you said " whats the point of swapping a calibre for the same calibre" that what sometimes happens is for some reason you may not be happy with the gun, not the calibre, and request a swap, thats all. I nearly asked for a swap for my .223 to another .223 a few months ago as i was having trouble with the gun, but was very happy with the calibre Quote Link to post
