I have a question I'd like to ask here since it involves a ELR build I was doing.
What would be the accepted time frame to allow a GS to keep your money without returning it or providing the agreed gun?
I ordered a Custom build back in Oct and the day I ordered it the GS said he talk to Stiller and actions were 2 months out Max. We both agreed the Manners stock would be the longest wait time at 5-7 months and I was quoted the barreled action would be waiting on stock and once it showed it would be another week or 2 to Fit / Bed and finish barreled action into stock.
Well Manners had him the stock in 6 months and I am going on 10 months and he still don't have the action and we have both called Stiller and they say they have actions but Not the bolts as PTG are building the bolts and can't give any of us a time frame.
And all the dealings I have had with PTG has been I/ We may not even see the bolt for 6-8 months.
So I asked for my money back to either go another route or buy a few of the ELR guns I been seeing posted , but the Smith will not return my money in full.
He claims he can use some of the parts but it would be a little harder for him to sell the .338 barrel and Manners T4A built for a Stiller Tac 408 .
But I know he has people waiting for his builds and he could finish the build once Stiller ever gets him a complete action. But he don't want to return the $1612 the Stock and Barrel cost. Only the other $2200
So I am stuck not wanting to be too big of a *** Hole because he is a well respected GS in the ELR world but I am also out $3812 total he has of mine and I don't have the money or Gun we agreed on that would be ready at Max a month after stock showed.
Thanks
