Silva denied my repair request of 3 Ranger Compasses about 4 months ago, they said they were too old to fix (about 25 - 30 years). I think I will send Brunton an e-mail and see what they say?

Leupold Gold Ring Riflescopes are guaranteed for life, I sent them a bent Vari-X III model with a letter that told them how I bent it, 10 days later a new, better version arrived at my door, no charge/postage paid.
