SAM10 moan
Posted: Sat Mar 23, 2019 2:32 pm
SAMLugano is out of business.
Last June I sent my SAM10 to Lugano, Switzerland for repairs. There is no repair service in the U.S.
They did a great job, even re-dating my cylinders (good to 2028). A couple of months ago the gun went down. It would bleed a cylinder before I could even finish a match. The cylinders were not the problem; I tested them.
I removed the barrel and grips and shipped the gun back ($24 postage) sans cylinders. It disappeared into the void. After a while I got nervous and tried to contact them. Email and company search turned up 'Out of Business.' Then I tried phoning. The phone would ring but no answer.
Oh, woe!
Then out of the blue a package arrived; what joy! Repair and shipping...gratis. I put the gun back together and recharged the cylinders
Not wanting to wet myself yet, I waited until this morning when I could try it at the range.
The first string was a 49. I tried again for a total of 96.
Thank you, Marco Dolinas!
BTW If you have any handle on repairs for these, post them below. I've several folks asking for my non-existent help.
