Heres what Im looking at ordering, question 1 is do any of these items Im ordering have a problem with warped barrels etc? I like the pricing but the barrels are a little screwy from some pics Ive seen.

2nd question, when does the discount for the amount ordered kick in as Im on the final order page where Im about to pay and nothing is coming off in the sense of a discount. TIA and all the best, Jonathan

Jonathan,
These models are all made of relatively soft metal. You will find on them that the gun tubes will always be "warped" as you call it. Do not worry, they just need to be carefully straightened.
CinC doesn't have a program that adds and subtracts amounts when ordering through their site, at least that I know.

If you go to the "ordering information" page & read through the first section they explain this "problem".
The online ordering page doesn't register the discounts; they subtract it when they process the orders.
As was said, you will find the alloy softer than "others", as CinC have not gone to "lead free".
It bends more easily, but is probably less likely to break.

I have hundreds of CinC figs and I have not lost a barrel yet so IMHO you have nothing to worry about. As far as service, they have been exceptional and the orders very prompt.
