Jay,
I would recommend ditching the Labor comp and now start shooting for a new SC ASAP. Take yours out and have it boxed and taken to them personally. Better yet, Take it directly to the place. Your from AZ like me so go out there and visit them with the SC in hand and have them exchange it for a new one. Since there are some VX owners in CA then maybe they can recommend you a shop or ALPINE and have it done over the weekend. Then you and Alpine can verify that it is good to go.
The important thing now I believe is getting a properly built SC. So don't let them stonewall you.
Here is the address I got
S.A. Alpine Developments, Inc.
7581 Acacia Avenue
Garden Grove, Ca. 92841
I wish a good outcome for you.
Cheers,
