UPDATE: Marlin lapped the barrel. I believe them as the chatter marks in the bore don't look as sharp and crisp as before, so the high spots have been taken down some. I will shoot it when it warms up this weekend or next week.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I bought a Marlin .22 back in 2014. I didn't get around to shooting it until last year and have had accuracy issues ever since.
Finally, last month I sent it in for repair after I saw that there was chatter in the microgroove rifling. I never noticed this before because the grooves are so small that it was difficult to see. I got it back today to find that the barrel is exactly the same, still has the chatter toolmarks. My suspicion is that nothing has been done to this rifle to repair it, even thought it is still under warranty and will be for another couple years.
I intend to call Marlin tomorrow to find out what they found. I will shoot it in the next few days to see if maybe they did do something to fix the accuracy issues, but I doubt they did. Still want to try it to make sure though.
If in the event Marlin didn't do anything and the gun still shoots like garbage, can I request a full refund after 3 years? Or should I go about this a different way?
I appreciate any advice here, I've never had to deal with a new gun being shit.
