[QUOTE="Joel Russo, post: 893741, member: 6152"] This saga reminds me of the issues many had with Chris Matthews of Longshot Rifles in MO. Chris was a stand up guy, I made him a pile of stocks for his builds, then he started to slip. Took money and parts from customers, then closed his doors unexpectedly. We have many talented people in this industry, but few that actually really know how to run a business. As time goes on, and business grows, their weaknesses are exposed, and the business part of the equation puts them under. Extended delivery dates are one thing, but not communicating is a whole different issue, especially if you have money and/or a customer's parts. BATF controlled parts throw a monkey wrench into the situation. Personally, I have had issues with extended delivery dates. My experience over the years has been that most will understand if you communicate those issues. Key word....communicate. I wish Rastaman luck in his endeavors, and look forward to see what transpires in this ordeal. [/QUOTE]
