Hello all.I have a Marlin 917V that needs some warranty work,however,I did not send in the warranty card because I never envisioned having a problem. So am I still covered? And if so, what is the turn-around time? I once sent in a Colt Trooper in the mid eighties; the thing was gone 6 months so I am a little leery. Thanks for your help, I hope to hear some optimism. Kix
