Aw, Ravens aren't so bad for a zinc gun. My first auto was a Raven back in the 80's and I still have it! If it were truly junk and did not function I would have cut it up and sold the parts. It didn't have to go back to the factory for adjustments to make it function like some of your "kustom" high dollar guns! Then again I am not too hot on the idea of a larger caliber gun made with the same pot metal concept. Needs more detail to know what really happened, but I would avoid that sort of gun in any case. I think the Raven was around 60$ NIB so it is not like I bought a 800$ gun that FTF.
