[TenTec] Corsair still fixable?

[Mike K9MI]

Mike, you don't want this. I was just asking if it could even be fixed, if 
anyone knew?? And yes, it's a Corsair, but the manual was a brand new 
Corsair II. Lack  of communication, or maybe Ten Tec doesn't have the 
Corsair manual anymore? I don't know. I took it all back out to the club 
today and I'm done playing middle man. I could have came on here and lied 
about how good it is. It's not! It may not be fixable, it may not even be a 
good parts rig. I was never here!
