[QUOTE="blipelt, post: 542408, member: 11310"] The one thing most don't understand about the communication is the time it wastes. When emailing, calling etc. are you being charged for that time? You should, nothing I do pertaining to work I am not paid for. I am pretty sure everyone else gets paid for their time also contractor, salary, or hourly. My father was supervision for one of the largest construction companies in the nation. Most gunsmiths get to wait on payment from customers, wait on components for builds. Have customers change their mind and it is all acceptable. They are affected by everyone. If timeframes are such issues to people why don't they order and pay for the components themself, have them on hand and then contact the gunsmith? There will be much less of a time error. Or do like I do, pay for the rifle in [B]full [/B]and when they call go and pick it up. Usually my waits are no less than a year to a year and a half. I never plan to use a rifle until I have it in my hands with the load development done. Just makes sense to me. I know a friend who ordered a bartlein barrel he was told 8 weeks he got it a year later. I know how long it takes to build a rifle. I also know how much more money they could be making using his skills elsewhere. Brent [/QUOTE]
