[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1380236, member: 2736"] If he is within driving distance, I would first find my ticket where I paid for it, then I would make a friendly visit to his shop to check on the progress. If he hasn't started any work, just get all of the parts and the difference in money that you paid. You can still be polite, just get your stuff and tell him you have someone that can take it and get it finished within a couple of weeks. I had a good friend that took this advice after waiting 7 years for him to take care of his friends and still hadn't started his rifle. unfortunately, he did not have proof of payment and did not get any refund of his money. He brought the rifle parts to me to see if I could finish it for him. I had 3 other builds going and was waiting on parts. so I told him I would work him in as long as it didn't interfere with the other builds. he was ok with that and left all of the parts. I finished all the work I could do on the other builds with the parts on hand and with the short window of time jumped on his project. In 7 days I had finished his rifle and test fired it so I called him and told him to come by, and see me. I could tell that he stressed out figuring that he had a major problem. (It was probably mean of me not to tell him it was ready) when he got there the first thing he said was what's the problem? I told him I needed to show him. The look on his face when he realized that I had finished in a week what had taken 7 years was priceless. The point is, that it doesn't take that long if the Smith has his business in order and don't take care of his friends first or out of order as long as he has everything. There are some good Smiths, but some are poor business men and that's where you can go wrong if you get one of these He remained friends with the smith but just never let him do any more work for him. Sorry about your trouble J E CUSTOM:( [/QUOTE]
