I know. I was looking at that. Putting together a LH 300WM for a friend. I think I just found his Receiver.
You on the road?
I've heard that. Myself, I've never done business with them. But I very well may. Ain't for me, I don't care. lol So mean.
Shouldn't you be reading your new Harlequin Romance?

Not on the road yet, leaving 4am tomorrow morning.
Damn right.
A few months ago I needed a 7mm-08 A.I. reamer. I purchased, the funds cleared, then I received an e-mail stating it would be 6 to 8 weeks. On the 6 week mark, to the day, I called. Sumbitch if they didn't build, and ship, my reamer in three days.
Assholes.
I have bought a couple reamers, and a 30 caliber adjustable throat reamer, and although it was only three orders, I never had any issues with his office staff. But I haven't ordered anything for a couple of years, and things can change.
I tried to order a stock from them. They couldn't tell me if they had one in stock, so they would go look and call me back. Hadn't heard from them in two days, so I ordered one from someone else. Two days after that, they called and said that they had one, and got pissed and copped a big attitude when I told them that they didn't call me so I ordered from someone else. Girl on the phone was dumb as a brick. I hope she looks good because she will never make it off her brains.
Just so you know the PTG bolts supplied with this action are NOT the 1 piece bolts (I assumed they were). They are seconds which have had the bolt handle removed and then sleeved to the body. It looks kinda ..... bubbaed. Sorry PTG, I am done with you.
If either the 223 or 22-250 was at least a 1:8 I would take the risk of ordering direct from ptg. According to legacy sports 223 is 1:9 and 22-250 is 1:12. I wouldn't mind a cheap 22-250 that'd shoot 75gr amax (or whatever replaced it).
Today. I'm giving it a go for shits n giggles. It's suppose to make life easier not thinking for yourself. Ain't it?
Now don't go getting all mean n shit. We're like Brothers, remember? I'll give an objective on the customer service. Never bought from them before, but couldn't pass this one up.
Will advise when my order is complete.

Did you put your ffl's address in the delivery address during checkout? Thanks.
I remember when I was a good guesser. Crap.
Oh ya, buddy of mine just bought one for one of his Daughters. Her first year this year. Just got her Hunter Safety done. She's 10 and a real go getter. His two girls love to fish and enjoy the outdoors with Dad. He's done a great job with them.
No, they said to e-mail it and reference the order number, as my LGS was not on file there.
Did get a delay e-mail, called and they said not to worry, as that's automatic from when they only sold blueprinted actions. I bought the next to last 7mm-08 lightweight. All the .22-250 actions looked to have short barrels, and I want at least 24" for that one.
I never got the delay e-mail. From my inbox:

PTG called me yesterday to let me know the 7-08 that was shown to be in stock actually sold on the 6th and I could pick another barreled action or get a refund. I'm pondering if I want a 223, 22-250 or refund. Almost ordered a stock Friday; glad I held off. FWIW, as of yesterday afternoon they had a 7rem mag, standard barrel in stock that's not listed on the site.
I ordered a bottom medal with detachable mag from them in January for a 700 build, it was in stock according to the website. A few days later, I got an email stating it was not in fact in stock, and it would be a few weeks.
In April, I called because that was a bit more than "a few weeks" and I was still waiting. They said the batch they just got back had bad anodizing, so it would be a few more weeks. I wasn't able to cancel the order without paying a restocking fee, so I waited it out.
When June rolled around, still no product. I sent a few emails asking for a refund & order cancellation, but never got a reply. So I called and talked to one of their sales reps, I was ready to threaten claiming fraud to my credit card compamy unless they refunded my purchase, but it never came to that. The sales rep said that the wait was a little over the top, and he'd refund the purchase no problem.
July rolls around, still no refund. Called back, sales rep pulled up the file and realized he was the one I spoke with about canceling a month prior. He apologized, and said it would be taken care off. 2 weeks later, I finally got the refund.
After that experience with PTG, I'll never do business with them again, and would recommend others stay away too.

They must ship via carrier goat. Action out for delivery today, and UPS showed 14 city load/unload stops between them and my LGS, not counting the destination or origination. I hope there is still cardboard left around the action!
Hope it arrives to you in good condition.
I canceled my order yesterday. I spent a couple days trying to talk myself into getting a 223 or 22-250 in lieu of the 7-08, but just couldn't do it. The guy I talked to there was Chris. He was easy to get ahold of and helpful.

Got mine this week. Other than it being Kyptek camo instead of blued (per their description), and picking it up from UPS because they shipped to the wrong address, I guess I'm happy.
It looks unfired, but some surfaces have been beat to fuck. I wonder if these were demo guns or something?

Glad you dodged a bullet. It took me almost 7 months to get a custom bolt out of them, and they managed to misplace the order records. I called to check on it and the woman who answered the phone was like "Wha'?" I think they must take the orders down on bar napkins.
I ordered a trued action from PTG in January. In April I called them to see where it was. It was originally supposed to take 8 weeks. The woman who answered the phone must be paid to be dumb as a box of rocks. They tell you every lie you want to hear. Tried to get my money back because they said it would be another 8 weeks. They wanted a re-stocking charge. Finally, I just ordered a stainless Remington action because that was the only thing that was truly in stock. I am supposed to get my rifle completed in two weeks. I hope the action works well. PTG sucks, don't order anything from them.

Funny that they want to charge you a restocking charge for something that wasn't even in stock. If it isn't in stock, they can't "unstock" it, so how can they justify a RE-stocking charge?
I've heard all the horror stories from PTG as well. The only thing I've ever bought was a Stealth bottom metal that I never did use and will go on sale here soon. It was a while ago but delivery must have been OK because I don't remember being pissed off.
So, because I've been thinking of building a 223 bolt gun for a while I couldn't pass up $250 for a Howa barreled action. Ordered a 20" in some tan/brown kryptec camo whatever. I'll e-mail the FFL tonight or tomorrow then the wait begins.
I'll report back when I get it.

I have ordered many reamers from them. Always a quality product. Always what I ordered. Sometimes took longer than I hoped. Always treated professionally. I will continue to order from them.
Without going into all the gory details, your experience closely resembles mine (multiple occasions......shame on me.).
Copy that. Not gonna hold my breath with ya. I still got shit to do.
It shipped today, delivery to my FFL est 10/9
