I didn't know there was a difference in the lead and the jacketed comp.
Taurus has lifetime warranty. DO NOT SHOOT IT anymore. LOL they fixy fixy free.

Once you have an rma go fetch a free fedex box and put it inside the box. Packaged so it wont poke through the box. Ship it next day air. Next day air is important...
