Remember all that braggin' I was doin' about how good that Aguila ammo shot in my Cricket? Monday before T'day, I decided to warm up the barrel on the boy just for the sake of it.
I set up a target, broke open a box and went at it. 'Bout ten rounds in, 'click'. Excuse me? Recock. 'click'. Huh! Pulled the round to look, good pin strike. Misfire. That's odd. Oh, well.
After 100 rds. of ammo, I had 7 misfires layin' on the table. That ain't no good.
I found the C/S number for Aguila and a lady with a Latin acsent(imagine that!) answered the phone. I told her the story. She gave me an email addy and wanted me to write with a full explanation of what happened, where I purchased the ammo, lot number, Grandmother's maiden name, etc. .
Fine, I did that. Ain't heard a word.
No big deal. The Cricket shoots Blazer 40 gr. solids almost as good as it does the Aguila 38-H/P-S/E. I got almost a whole brick of that and Wally World stocks it on a regular basis.
I don't spend thousands of dollars on rimfire ammo, so Aguila ain't exactly gonna go under on account of me. They keep this kinda' stuff up, though, and they'll build themselves one fine bad reputation.
