[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 798546, member: 2736"] +1 My recommendation is to first, have a clear understanding of what you want the smith to do and that he understands BEFORE HE STARTS. Do not make changes without understanding that it WILL delay the completion of the build. E mailing the smith to check on progress is OK, But the smith can /should keep you up dated on the progress. (Not every little thing just the Big stages). Two or three times during the build should be enough. Note; Some smiths over book and this is impossible if they want to finish anything so again, find out what his work load is and what his schedule is for completing you rifle and make sure he understands that you expect him to honor the deadline and for him not to tell you something that is not achievable. Honesty is the best policy and if you don't like the time, you still have the option to go somewhere else. Building a custom rifle should be exciting. And poor schedules and communications can ruin the fun and turn it into a very bad ordeal. So Make sure every aspect of the build is clear and agreed on before starting and if the time line is not followed you have the right to remove your parts and only pay for what was done. And once again DO NOT PAY 100% of the money up front. Pay progress payments for work that has been done and it will go much better. Just some advice for first timers (Most of the people that have had multiple builds know the best way to manage a custom build). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
