[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 174625, member: 10"] As a rifle builder I have seen this with all companies dealing with all rifle componants, has gotten much worse this past year then ever before and it seems to be nearly across the board. Unfortunately, its hard to explain to your customers why their rifles are going to be 6 months late because you still do not have that receiver or barrel or stock they have been waiting for patiently for the last 8 months!!! Really puts us smiths in a bad spot even though we have no control of this at all. All it does is back us up into a corner and turn us into the buffer for companies that can not get their ducks in a row. Anyway, I understand your frustration totally, unfortunately, this seems to be industry wide for the most part. There are still some companies that are on the money. I will list the ones I have yet to have any problems with getting componants on time: Lilja barrels Manner stocks Nesika Bay receivers Of all the companies I order parts from, these are the best as far as shipping on time and getting you what you order and a quality part. Other companies have done very well and hic ups here and there are understandable but some companies are just chronically late or worse yet, you have to fight to get every part you order. It is a real source of stress for this smith anyway and all we can do is ask please be patient to our customers...... It is hard to deal with. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
