Seems to me you need to take a trip to the factory with your gun and confront them face to face, but even that will probably result in not resolving the problem because they have dotted the "I" and crossed the "T", but you can get it off your chest. On way out the door, drop the gun in the trash can and call it a day. I would not want to sell it off to anyone knowing it is defective and could not be fixed usless replacing the barrel and they evidentially will not do that.
