I found out today that Lawton Machine is no longer in business. It is sad to hear this. I ordered a barrel from them in February for a 408 Cheytac that I am building for a customer that I have not yet received, but I had to pay up front for, does anybody know who I can contact so I can get my money back?
Lawton Machine, what happened?

Re: Lawton Machine, what happened?
I heard that they were bought out and were moving. I think I read it here on the Hide but I don't know how true that is. Good luck getting your money back.

Please be careful repeating rumors. I have no dog in this race, but only those who really know, should speak to what happened.

The son was a idiot and made a lot of promises he couldn't keep.
The shop manager was a f'ing retard and put out shit work and expected people to not notice.
Everything got blamed on the receptionist.

Re: Lawton Machine, what happened?
Sounds like the OP may have found someone with personal experience. Good luck to all of you that are owed.

Re: Lawton Machine, what happened?
OP, I have had business dealings with them back when they still picked up the phone once a month...
As far as I can tell, what you're being told are the facts of the matter.

Re: Lawton Machine, what happened?
Short answer to what happened is that Barney died. As it turns out, the company died with him.
I had a dog in the fight for 15 months and it NEVER got corrected. Bobby and Jackson BOTH made promises they never intended on keeping.
Sorry to hear you got into them for anything. I think chaulking it up as a life experiance and accepting that you're eating it is the best you can do.

I had a 6mo ordeal in '08 for a single action I do not fondly remember. I can see the receptionist taking flak. There was allot of bad info at that time.

O well, so much for that! Guess we need to get Reece a truck bed full of towels to cry on.
Maybe it will work out, or not!!

Here's a quote from another website about Lawton's status. It was posted about a month ago.

Bobby went on to say that he had been laid-off but was there working for nothing trying to get things straitened out.
