Default help with grit in Hardy merksman bearing?

Hi folks,

I think this has come up recently - and someone may have posted an SBS, but I can't find it.

Does anyone know what to do about grit in the bearings on a Hardy Marksman? Or can I send it to them and ask them to deal with it?

It irritates me that they could make such an obvious design error: who in thier right mind builds something with a precision bearing race that is so easily exposed on a tool desingned to be used outdoors, in water?? I take painstaking care of the thing, but still...
