Spoken like a true member of the fudd club. If you don't realize that what I'm saying is true, it's because you're exactly who I'm talking about. I've had my share of experiences with psychedelics. I've always struggled with the idea that people should revere someone just because they haven't died yet. The most boring, uninteresting people on earth often live to old age, while people who are really pushing the envelope often don't. I always thought about the proportion of idiots in any swath of any demographic and it's pretty obvious that there are significantly more old idiots than old people with any damn sense, just like every age group. If you're a fucking moron, age probably isn't going to cure it. No other group is so currently resistant to the idea that you better re-visit every idea you're carrying in your head. You guys were spoon fed mountains of bullshit and most of you don't even know it. The most egregious cases fight hard to defend the bullshit they were told without ever considering that they are wrong.

Reading between the lines and sentences, let me emphasize on a few key points and what's behind the business curtain as well as boths sides here. The term "bashing" has been incorrectly been used against me. For one, bashing a company means stating false claims, business practices or false statements about a product.. If you can find anything I said that was false, I welcome that notice and have no problem correcting as im not ego driven.
What folks don't see is the discussions I had 8+ months prior to even coming public about the situation with Zermatt. Look at my past videos, for 3+ years I have publicly and freely promoted the product over others. Build thousands of Rim-X rifles, left a good career at the Railroad and made a mistake building a company off someone else's product. With the issues not addressed for over 8 months, I was left with over $110K of rifle components unable to move because of this issue, nearly putting me out of buisness. So excuse me if I have a lil pepp in my walk and tone in my voice, I think its justified . As months went by with PR responses and total neglect, my clients became more impatient and had to make the moral decision. I have Zero to gain having addressed this publicly, infact it has costed my shop thousands. BUT, I had made the choice to become the voice for my clients. Because of my doing, a forced resolution and acknowledgement was made within weeks. Im glad to see folks get a resolution, even though till this day, 24 actions sit on my shelf with the same issue and no further support. Let this be a reminder of which shops decided to burry their head in thier profits and ignore the problem. I continue to receive emails and calls complaining how their gunsmith neglected this issue and till now, how do you think I acquired photos from other people with this issue???, actions are still being sold with this defect until inventory is moved out

Now with Vudoo, I've always gave credit to the main designer of the V22 action, Mike Bush. What I have stated in my videos, again, was the defect of whom ever built the rifles and the dozens of emails I still get to this day with testimony of the poor customer service and poor shooting rifles folks received from Vudoo. Nothing about the action! Come to find out Vudoo just outsourced everything and recent events is a testimony of how the company ran under its mismanagement and confirmation of the many who have/had issues. Said this to Pauls face with the dozens of complaint emails I printed out for him at SHOT 2023. Ive done nothing but perfect flaws on everyone elses products and of course im no exclusion to this, its all how its handled in the end and how you want to reflect on your clients.

Unlike others, I do not take in client provided parts because of the mass experience in fixing gun plumb rifles just to get a baseline to build off of. Finding filed down construction nails as trigger pins, ball point pen springs in lieu of proper factory tensioners, JB weld in places id never even thought was possible, Seized factory barrels on the action, pure neglect of maintenance, these are just some off top of my head. I cant even imagine the lead times If I allowed gunsmithing ontop of my work load currently

As for prefits, I could have easily entered that game, especially since I craft my own barrels and I'm not subject to barrel manufacture leadtimes any longer. I would actually make a killing doing so. I simply dont do it because I can confidently say I have no problem out performing any prefit out there and I choose to have my business name reflect my craftsmanship for those willing to wait. Not chase profit. Also I see to much tolerance variance despite the advertised ability to prefit. In today's time, folks expect instant gratification and product soon as they pay. I remember a time I waited 3 years for Bob Marvel to hand fit my custom 1911 before it was nighthawk customs.

Now this form was a recommendation and request of my clients to address the issues stated above. I have unfortunately came across the relentless defenders that do not have the time, experience and investment I do. Even admins who have zero buisness providing their biased opinions, even though they are not gunsmiths and clearly have an investment promoting/ defending and selling their favorite vendors products.

This form needs change, and it starts with the individuals who are emotionally driven and aimed to cause conflict, not resolution or help to others. If your vision is like mine and you want to seek positive change and rebuke companies taking advantage of thier consumers, sacrificing quality but still selling at high prices then your welcome to follow.

This project of mine was evoked as a solution I see needed for my clients. I did this in less than 3 weeks if you where following. From idea, draft, cad modeling and 3D prints over a year ago to now a near perfected production. 99% of the folks I talk to is what motivates me, that last 1% are the trolls that hang around to see my demise. That puts me into overdrive.

The estimated buffalo population was also bullshit. They claimed forever that it was 30 million at the point of Europen contact. This was based on one guy observing a single herd travel for a few days, then he came up with some sort of calculation based on the area they occupied and spit out "30 million". The number was actually 5-8 million. Also, the natives were killing the buffalo for tongues just like the Europeans. Entire tribes were dedicated to killing them, just like the buffalo hunters. The last big herd was killed in Canada near the red river by a tribe. There was never a US government or a military policy to eradicate the buffalo. That may be the most oft repeated lie in Aemrican history. It's all based on one guy saying that he heard general Sherman say it in Texas in around 1880. The problem was that Sherman was never in Texas within a decade of that claim being made. He was lying. Nobody else ever claimed to have heard such a speech either. All of those guys had stenographers that wrote everything they said, and it never happened. There was never a government policy or a military directive to do anything to the buffo. Even the guys who were doing the killing never had any idea they were killing them off. They all believed there were millions more out there wandering around. See, white guilt has been around for a long time, and people enjoy this self-flagalation so much that they'd rather keep repeating the lie than researching the truth.

All good brother. Maybe “over the top” is the Brazilian side coming through. Progress that’s been made on this is impressive and I’m a huge supporter. His rifles have tremendously upped my game. I have lots to improve on but lack no confidence in my gear. For an old man I’m doing OK.
