They are OK. Just a shit company to deal with sometimes.
cool. Im not in a great rush. seems to be the trend these days
Yep, the old days of being able to ring Dave Kiff for advise are well gone.Quote:

@blip are they shipping direct these days? I ordered stuff from them a couple of years ago & I had to send it to another US location to be sent by someone else I know over there. Their product is excellent quality.
Im not sure they accepted my address
If you need a second option I’ll recommended Manson again. As soon as my credit card recovers from its current bout of bloating, I’ll be ordering another reamer from them.
Just out of interest, what was the turnaround time given from PTG? Was the K Hornet made to order or in-stock?
To be honest I'm a fukn retard with anything computers or shit I cant do with my hands so I dont know. I think its in stock and its on usps international freight or something, Im just hoping it turns up. Its charged my credit card so I fukn hope so....
I tried dealing with brownells aus but they were worse than fukn useless..
I got a crowning set from Manson and have to say really good to deal with. Great comms and great quality product
been looking into those as well but so far Ive found a way to do it that works surprisingly well.Quote:

It doesn't take long to find more feedback for reamer quality and service from PT&G, Manson, JGS on the forums based over there.
I can't confirm what Zimmer said, but Dave Manson is still quick to respond to an email with considered advice on potential purchases.
Well I would be. I was saving up for a 300HH reamer from Mansons i think but the freights a killer
This one is 363$ inc freight. Probably expencive but thats what it costs if theres none in nz.
Is that Kiwi or USD ?Quote:

Its kiwi $
My last two reamers from Manson with go gauge were around the $us 320 ish mark each landed
I got some discounted reamers from ptg in the past for like $us60 but you don’t always get exactly what you want or need at that price ( tighter neck , or too long or too short a throat…etc)
Freight from Manson was $80usd for reamer and 2 gauges. That was earlier this year.
Yes freight is killing stuff big time. Just to get a couple of Lee dies sets at $us38 each would cost me close to $us100 of freight !
I thought $50au was bad enough for a reamer, dies and 100 brass from aussie!Quote:

Gone are the days of the 20lb flat rate boxes for US$20Quote:
