[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1680550, member: 27307"] These two responses are absolutely correct. This situation is out of the gunsmith's control. He called Stiller and was told two months for the action and bolt. He placed the order for the action as a result of that information. Stiller makes the action body but PT&G in their inimitable way, is stalling on making bolts for Stiller. This might be a problem between Stiller and PT&G? [B]This is not the gunsmith's fault. Blame Stiller and PT&G but not the GS. [/B] The second part is that the gunsmith has also ordered parts very specific to just your build; the stock from Manners which is inlet for the [U]oversize action[/U] and barrel channel, and the [U]oversize barrel[/U] required to be used on the oversize action. How often do you think he will get another order which will utilize these components? You may not care but it should be a consideration. If he returns all of your money for this build he is stuck with the components which have an extremely low potential for getting used and paid for. On the other hand, he can keep the money for the components and send those components to you to use for that build when PT&G gets your bolt finished. The action will have to go through an FFL to get the 4473 done. Then it's up to you to choose another gunsmith to complete the assembly from those components. [/QUOTE]
