We ceased to be a stocking Stoeger dealer several years ago, and here's why.
They shipped a large number of their SxS and O/U shotguns with a function defect which prevented the Right/Upper barrel from firing. It simply didn't work. Stoeger admitted, through their parent-company representative at Benelli, that they were aware of this issue and shipped the guns anyway. They then refused to replace or repair the defective units or refund our (or our customer's) money. You wanna see pissed-off FFLs? Stop by Stoeger's table at the SHOT Show.
Read that again: they shipped (and refused to replace or repair) what they knew to be defective merchandise, and then told every FFL and consumer who bought one (or twenty) of these defective weapons to go fuck ourselves.
The mechanical issue may have been fixed, but I personally (and my company) will never, EVER do business with Stoeger or Benelli ever again. YMMV.
