    Gunsmithing How to deal with a crooked gunsmith?

    So the credit card company gave a "provisional" credit, which hasn't been finalized. And today I missed the Fedex guy, possibly from the gunsmith. June 15th to October 27th on a "2-4 week" lead time. :rolleyes: Pretty sure I'm about to be fucked sideways. Nope, not PVA, ES-Tactical. My SRS...

    Gunsmithing How to deal with a crooked gunsmith?

    MileHigh did a barrel for me this year. It was delayed because Covid hit and Bartlein got backordered. MileHigh communicated well with me, and the result was a fantastic barrel.

    As long as you can trust the barrel maker, yes absolutely!

    Gunsmithing How to deal with a crooked gunsmith?

    I'm not ready to name names just yet, a pissing match in a forum won't make anything better. If the credit card company reverses it, I'll name them, otherwise I might have a legal battle ahead and don't want to make things worse. A lot of places have had plandemic-related delays, and that's to...

    Perhaps, but the website said 2-4 WEEKS and I waited 10 before contacting the first time.

    Gunsmithing How to deal with a crooked gunsmith?

    Ordered two barrels with an out-of-state gunsmith whom I thought had a good reputation. That was June 15th. Claimed 2-4 week lead time on barrels. It's been games and excuses and lies ever since. I really don't know what to do, I've rarely had to deal with such a shady character and have no...

    Rifle Scopes Is the glass on the Athlon Ares BTR significantly better than the Argos BTR???

    Very subjective, I'd think, but to my eye I'd say yes. Not overly-significant, but noticeable.

    Rifle Scopes leupold mark 5hd 5-25x56 mil

    Loved mine when I got it, fantastic glass and elevation turret. But mine has been a lemon, poor turret tracking, sent it back for the 2nd time in July after the first repair actually broke elevation tracking completely and I still haven't got it back yet. I wouldn't judge the model or the...

    Beyond the vast knowledge being shared with us, I also (selfishly) appreciate growing my list of awesome dudes I'd be happy to have a drink with or go shooting with (not at the same time). One-sided friendships, I guess, but I'll take it. :) Thanks @CaylenW and @velayo_0317 and all the...
