[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1680405, member: 2736"] Actual time to build a custom rifle if the smith has everything in hands should be no more than 30 days if he scheduled each build in order. But because of other builds in his schedule it could be how many builds in front of you that could effect your start date. If all parts were ordered, they should come in in 3 to 4 months and the 30 days are added to that. the smith should know what the delivery date is on each item and base his schedule off that. If his vendors don't meet their schedule, he should work on that or change vendors because it impacts his schedule to. In my experience, some vendors will tell you what you want to hear to make the sale. I always demanded the "Real time" to receive the component and held him to it. it is better to tell the customer the actual time up front, than have to explain why his build is late. I would first ask him what progress he has made and what is his revised schedule is and then decide what you want to do. Any components he purchased for you should come back to you and he should not refund anything but the cash. In my opinion, any time spent ordering parts should be on him because he did't expedite his schedule. He may have some reasonable reasons for the delay so try to explain that you would rather have the rifle than the money. if he is unreasonable with that approach, time to move on and find another GS. Custom builds are not always easy/simple ,but the Smith has/should stay on top of things to meet his schedule. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
