I did warranty work at Vega...talk about an exercise in frustration. Fortunately, I had bins of replacement parts so it generally worked out. The guys who assembled the guns were about as sharp as a bowling ball, but they worked cheap.
Vega was a half baked idea that was put together over way too many shots of whiskey between an investment cast parts supplier, Bo Clerke, and my former boss. My boss was the "money", Bo was the engineer, and the parts were coming (I can't remember the name of the company) from the same company who supplied cast stainless parts to Randall and AMT. Randall got first pick of the parts, AMT got the next pick, and Vega's were built from parts that were rejected from both...so yeah, very poorly conceived idea for a gun company. They intended to make cheap, crappy guns. Every now and then, they screwed up and made some pretty good ones. BTW, VEGA magazines are first rate.
