Thread: Anyone know where I can get one of these?

All this does is allow more people to be put in the same position they find themselves in......good times....not...

The rifle is faulty, the "gunsmith" should fix it or at least be given the opportunity to fix it, end of story, its not up to you to fix it....

Look, I am a "blabber', cause it's 'me' that's upset! I'll probably end up doing an in depth video on the whole affair, for those who may be interested in seeing it, that way you'll get to 'see' and not just hear about it! Now, it will be lengthy, and it will take me a lot of time to do... could be several months, however, it is looking highly likely that I'll just have to wear this POS until I can afford to get another one, that I'll get built in the States, next time, as I don't believe there is a "Competent Gunsmith" in New Zealand, least, not that I've ever come across anyway, and I've been bitten that many times now that I'm no longer willing to take any more people's recommendations or any more chances with NZ Gunsmiths!

But, like I say, I'm still in negotiations with the Director, and I'd be a fool (or even more of a fool than I am already) to prematurely blab 'before' we finally get each other in a headlock!

It's a shame when stuff like this happens as it puts people right off customs, I have had rifles built by Scott trail grant at Trueflite and Dean here in Tauranga and all have been good honest 1/2 Moa guns, I've had a ga precision built rifle that shot really well but we do have a few capable smiths right here in Nz

I just takes good components & someone that knows what they are doing,

Usually not that difficult in all reality, but every now & then it doesn't go to plan, that's manufacturing

Shouldn't have sold this...http://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.n...minator-25380/

Now I have to decide what to make next

I hope you get a favourable result

Considering the money at stake here with what you have spent with the gunsmith there is no way in hell I would "wear it"
You have legal rights and they need to be held accountable for their work, whether it be the agent, who in my opinion is answerable to you, the gun smith is then answerable to your 'agent'
Hold them to task mate.
