I just hope you get what you are expecting and you can put the recent drama behind you.

Personally I pretty interested to know who was working on it.
It's a small pond we live in here and that sort of service should be exposed so that others who spend hard cash don't get burned.
Especially when it sounds like you were very prompt in paying them.

Best luck when it does arrive.

Too right. Clowns in various industries pull this shit day in day out, and no-ones the wiser until it happens to them.

I realise you may not want the drama of naming the guy. Fair enough. The other side of the coin is that if you do, it puts the other gunsmiths in the area in the clear.

Wow that's a step in the right direction at least , hope it's sorted soon and that you are happy with the rifle in the end.

Possibly your gunsmith saw this thread and was promted to action?

hope I dont get duped by him

Send him your own invoice for the cost of the rifle, including the work you payed him for, along with a letter saying your happy to have a judgement made in court if he doesn't pay it.

How's things going Rod?

Owning a service business, as I do, the amount of shit I am left with from people just not collecting their stuff is unbelievable. And of course the ones that are told their shit is not worth repair and then its "well don't throw it out, Ill pick it up" bullshit its still here 6 months later. They day I chuck it is the day they come back! I have a 3 month sign in the shop, saying after 3 months it gone! Nice to show them.

hell i fully agree!
in my workshop: an electric skateboard, guy contacted no reply received. (worth 600 plus and my bill is $120)
home theater amp. has been wet and considered unrepairable, wont even acknowledge messages so i have to clutter up the place with it
dashboard from a boat, wont answer messages
it cost me time ($) to keep contacting these people. today i repaired an amplifier that was a "rush job" end result " i will pick it up when i go passed next, dont know when"

time to go work for someone else again i think cos frankly the admin is bullshit.

4. There's always a shyster

Interesting to see if he has actually done the work on it.
