[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1200928, member: 54383"] I know that lots of people are slinging mud in this thread, some with experience some with out. Did things go wrong with this build? Absolutely. Has he worked with me in the past couple weeks to get me my rifle? Absolutely. And to the people thinking I should have gotten a free cerracoat job or whatever, all I ever wanted was the rifle that I supplied parts and labor cost for. Am I happy that it has taken this long? No. Do I get that sometimes **** goes south and things are over looked? Yes. I really don't think that my experience has been exactly what can be expected from Kirby. I do however think he might need to employ some streamlining or organization strategies to his business model.[/QUOTE] I think you are absolutely correct. Should not have taken this long.
