[QUOTE="340PR, post: 2382116, member: 107814"] It sounds like the smith is overwhelmed. I went to work for one who had a backlog of 6-8 months. I took over most of the bench work, and he is now down to 2-4 weeks, barring delays of incoming parts needed. There are others who are out well over a year on rifle builds/machine work. fwiw: It is always a good rule to ask when dropping off: "when do you think it will be ready?", setting expectations. It is just as important to follow up, to let them know you are interested in them keeping their word. You may find that they are having an issue, but "have not had time to call". When you do call, ask when a good time would be to check back. We encourage communication both ways, and work hard to manage our customer's expectations. [/QUOTE]
