Chinese based Heintzman

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi Don,
I guess what caught my eye was the pin sticking through the block. It seems
to me that the block is not thick enough, the pins have no support for the
foot end allowing the pin to flagpole on the foot of the pin, as well as the
neck. Very poor design,
Waranty materials issue, needs correct thickness pin block?
