A many months ago i got bite bye the NFA Bug. Due to that obsession I recently purchased a Silencer Co osprey in .40. After i Ordered the Osprey can and an AAC Element from Major Malfunction (who by the way was very helpful knowledgeable and had the best price around) everything was good to go . Then I started the long depression process of finding threaded barrels. Did a quick Google search find to out what kind of barrels are available. Not many for m host weapons a Walter p99 in .40 and a EAA GOLD TEAM ELITE in .40. The Walther no problem EKF fire-dragon had a barrel available in the thread pattern i needed no problem. The problem came when i attempted to suppress the EAA. Nobody has a barrel for it in the correct thread pattern. SO here is were it all starts.
First i contact EAA 2/4/10 Listen to the stupid voice mail robot press the corresponding digit for customer service (which is one of only two choices) A women picks up "ask what can i help you with" I explain my situation that i need a threaded barrel for the elite gold team She returns with "we don't have thread barrels ". I ask can i buy an extended barrel she says no i ask what if i need a replacement barrel she hangs up. (Keep in mind this is the [gold]gold team elite[/gold] there most expensive firearm other than their 50 rifle)
call back the same day praying to speak to someone else Nope same women this time ask different question "could someone measure the barrel for me i am in new york and my guns are in Florida " She says "sure whats your phone number well call you back" I fall for this no one calls me back
Call the next day ask more questions (I really want to suppress this gun ) get the runaround Finally realize by her answers to my questions that the person I am talking to doesn't know shit politely ask to speak to tech She says "whats your phone number i will have him call you"
Finally five days go by, Start to have nightmares of a suppressor and no gun to shoot it on
decided to call more run a rounds i don't even remember the crap they are telling me
basically boils down to calls back and fourth hes the call log from t mobile

It all comes to conclusion on the 16 when finally i get a hold of the tech
the the conversation goes like this
Me Hello
tech Hello
Me thank god finally i have been trying to get a hold of you guys for two weeks in a playful manner
tech Nope No you Haven't
Me excuse me
tech You haven't been trying to get a hold of me for two weeks i call everyone back at the end of the night
me AHHHHHH OK sure can you answer some question for me (I really wanted to argue with him about his staff and how many times i called but felt that i needed the information more)
me whats the diameter of the barrel in the gold team elite
tech why do you ask
Me well i have one and want to suppress it tornado tech said they need to know the barrel diameter to see what thread are available
tech why don't you measure yours (I found this rude )
me i explain Im in New York and my weapons are in Florida
tech well i don't have one right here
me OK
the rest of the five minutes of the conversation was spent on him telling me my gun is custom and i cant suppress it because of this that and the other
basically sounded like bullshit
there's more but Im tired
pretty much the customer service at eaa is shit some of the employees seem to not know shit i mean i don't know everything but i was always trained if i didn't know i would try and find out instead of giving a bunch of bullshit information that doesn't relate to the question at hand.
this was my experience with EAA your experience may vary Just as long as your questions aren't very challenging and don't require employees to know shit or actually do any work
Heres a pic of the gun in question she is badass but will probably never wear a suppressor
