[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1168714, member: 35183"] I would be concerned if the parts for the 6, 4 and 2.5 year projects even exist or whether the smith sold them to someone else in the intervening period ? I don't think you have anything to lose to pull those projects and get someone else working on them for you. I wasted 9 months on a name brand barrel maker who had a blank in stock that they needed to chamber and thread the shank on and they messed up the chamber and didn't want to confess to doing so. For probably 8.5 of the 9 months they did absolutely nothing, which included not re-ordering a new blank (made by themselves) and just left me hanging. I figured out that the receptionist had a standing order to not transfer me to the guy responsible for the builds (you could not reach him by phone or email Mon-Fri). It was her who finally told me that getting another blank made was going to take more than 6 months (after waiting more than 8 months by that time), so I told her to box up my rifle and send it back. As it turned out, they had not even unpacked it to remove the old sporter barrel after all that time. I got my money refunded and that is the last time I will ever have anything to do with them again. [/QUOTE]
