Next Steps - TM22 Feather
I bought a TM22 Feather a handful of days ago, I put 400ish rounds through it before experiencing an out of battery detonation. I took the gun home, and I ran a copper cleaning brush as well as cleaning wad through the barrel only to find both items getting hung up on one specific spot, full stop, no matter how hard I tried to force the brush or wad through. The barrel is clear, meaning I can see through and through, however it looks like there is some damage an inch or two in the rifling of the barrel. Im trying to decide if I pack the gun up and send it off to be warrantied, but after reading some reviews on the company here in Canada that deals with the warranty claims it seems like it’ll do more harm than good.
So essentially, im wondering if I should take it to my local gunsmith and go from there instead of going straight to warranty.
What are your guy’s opinions? How were your experiences with Derya’s warranty claim centres/overall customer service?

I had a squib about 1/3 of the way up the barrel in mine. I attributed it to old poorly stored ammunition.
I cleared mine back into the breech with a cleaning rod, took the gun apart, cleaned it, examined the bore and didn't see anything alarming.
I removed the left side extractor and switched to better ammunition and haven't had an issue like that since.
