I did not want to put a name up that will then stay there "forever", unless things get real bad. We were on holiday in Salt Lake and it was about a 3-4 hour drive north and west into the next state. If anybody knows him that should be enough. When I ordered it he said about a year, well now its 99 weeks. When I got back to SLC I found the estimated shipping date was the same as the order date?? An error or what?
He would not give a time scale when I called him, even though I pushed him. Since then I sent him details by email as to the possible barrel screw cut for sound moderator, which of course we all use here (UK) for hearing protection as well as group improvement. I have filled in the web pages on his site as well as sending emails. Next will be a fax again. Its going to be a pain in the bum, but I can see that I'll have to take a day out of my holiday to go up to see him. That is if I can get him on a day hes in!
There is another aspect of needing the weapon asap. We get guns on our license on a need to use approval basis. This was a 9" twist 243 for use on roe deer. I am restricted in what I can get by the police and licenses are for 5 years with a use it or forfeit it basis. My renewal is this summer, so if I do not have it, or proof that its more or less on the way then I could end up with no 243 on my ticket!!! The only way round it would be to go and buy another 243 pro tem': but naturally I would like the right bit of kit.
As a point of interest, all guns used in the UK have to have been thru' an approved test house. There are many around the world that are ok, eg all the EC countries, Russia !!, turkey etc but NOT the USA. So when I get the beast it has to go to a test house (more money) within 28 days or its a criminal offense to own or use!! What a nanny state this is!
If anybody whats more details then please send me a private message if you can and I'll send more "non public" info.
Thanks for the help.
Andy
