I must say, if Shank's research is wrong this has to be the biggest coincidence in the history of coincidences.

It is always scary when an amateur transitions from a shovel to an excavator to finish his hole out.

Rob posted comments all over Tactical Rifle's wall. All anyone had to do is click on Rob's name and go straight to his personal Facebook page, which is set up as publicly viewable to the entire world, along with his entire photo gallery which he set as public access.

There was very little legwork to be done. Everything brought up was public information. The photo gallery is full of self-portraits of your time in the sandbox. Everyone's been respectful enough to leave those photos alone.

Re: WARNING ~ TR ~ My experience

A custom rifle has to do more than just be accurate.

Factory Remmys and savages are accurate.


You're buying a premium product here and the accuracy is the minimum of whats acceptable.

Fit, finish, quality components, durability, details details details, before and after sale service are all expected when it comes to premium products.

Sir, it was clear from the moment you got here that you had an agenda, it was so obvious that even I picked on it. As mentioned already, there is but one move left...........
Come clean and tell the rest of the story, otherwise this discussion will continue without you, and only get worse.



Whats next, another new member gonna suddenly appear and defend TR, or tell us that you have nothing to do with them and try and repair all this?

Re: WARNING ~ TR ~ My experience

Griffon- I'm amazed that anyone could watch that video and think the customer or I made it up as a "hit job". Unbelievable.

As to your comments about the bottom metal, if you watch the video again you'll see that there were many more problems other than small screw heads. Why you focused in on that one particular item but yet still didn't see the full details of that item is a mystery.

This is a small industry and I don't go around badmouthing other smiths. I'm friends with many of them and have phone and email conversations with different builders on a regular basis. Many of them are big names you've seen here and some are small shop garage guys you've never heard of that do outstanding work. As I said it's a small community and as far as I know I don't have any enemies out there in this business. We all have enough work that we help each other when ever possible with advice, and techniques. Sometimes we talk just to blow off steam about things from one professional to another.

In this particular case the work was so bad that I gave the customer my permission to put it on youtube and make it public. I don't feel like I did anything wrong and certainly wasn't trying to do a "hit job".

Your accusation is false and I find it offensive.

Marc
 
Re: WARNING ~ TR ~ My experience

Man those pictures look so similar, I would be hard press to see them as two different people, but after the posts made, and especially telling you guys how wrong you were, I would have to take his word for it since he is a Navy Vet and that trumps rednecks on the inter webs. Mad Google Fu be damned you're questioning a Corpsman in the Navy, can't have that.

Then again, Eric Reid formerly of GAP is at the Precision Weapons Section in Quantico so a phone call tomorrow can tell who inspected the 3 rifles after hours to verify it. Or if that even happened, which of course it did, a service member put it in print more than once on here.

Still, I think you guys have no chance of convincing anyone ndnboy71 is affiliated with Tactical Rifles no matter how you try. He told you he is not.

The hit job is the company surrogate coming on without acknowledging his connection to the company and his insider status while suggesting highly un-plausible possibilities as to why we are looking at these issues, basically everything but the company might have sent out a sub-standard product. From attacking the character of the rifle owner to the character of the site, that is a hit job. </div></div>

I'm confused. I don't work for Tactical Rifles.net. I didn't even know of them prior to 6 weeks ago.

I went to a course and realized my M24 wasn't a real M24 when I looked at the barrel and saw "Tacticalrifles.net" engraved near the chamber.

I was reporting my experience with their rifle, and observations of 10 other rifles made by the company.

Maybe their QC is all over the map. Maybe they have 40 rifle builders and the guns I saw were all made by one of those. I have no idea, but the guns I saw weren't in need of massive re-work. Proper bedding is probably something I would have done if I owned the rifle I shot. The barrel touching the stock bothered me mentally, the heavy trigger would have been replaced. I probably would have done something with the adjustable HS buttplate that wiggled (a problem with HS M24 buttplates). But I would have been happy to have been given the rifle to keep. I don't currently have a bolt gun and that was a nice accurate bolt gun.
</div></div>

Maybe you and tactical rifles.net can link up and sell combo packages....

Re: WARNING ~ TR ~ My experience

One thing is clear from all of this...It's nice to know that Spartan Rifles is a few miles from me and now I have a good smith to do some work on my rifles. And it also looks like the shitastic bedding job that I did on a rifle (which I'll be taking to Marc for a fix) would get me a job at TR.
 
Re: WARNING ~ TR ~ My experience

One more thing is clear - pretty sure TR won't be the outfit doing the next SH rifle group buy.

Re: WARNING ~ tacticalrifles.net ~ My experience

As far as I am concerned TR not even in the same league as GAP, BlackOps, Tac-Ops, SAC, or Spartan Rifles. How many TR rifles do you see compared to the other ones that I have mentioned.

They just ruined any business with me and hopefully others too.

Any company that has been over for as long as they have 5+ years. I have a mag article from 2007. They have more then a few employees, and advertise A LOT. I see at least 5 of them per month in magazines. That is NOT counting whatever internet or other advertising that I don't see. I would say they SELL a lot of rifles. On that note, back in the day I used to see them ALL over gunbroker selling barreled action, complete rifles and services.
 
Re: WARNING ~ tacticalrifles.net ~ My experience

I have seen them in Magazines also and a TV show, I can't remember which TV Show but they were shooting a M40 in 6.5x47 Lapua. But as far as people goes I have not heard that many good things about them or seen anyone say "Look at what I just bought" thread praising them for there work, like I have seen the other builders that I have mentioned. As far as I can tell (my opinion again) they could have built an outstanding rifles for the Magazines and TV shows knowing the publicity and then slouched on other customers. I have not seen or heard of that happening with the mentioned builders I mentioned.

My last post is just my opinion on from what I have seen personally. I have dealt with BlackOps, APA and SAC (Mark has my rifle right now) they are all top notch builders, with great customer services. I think (in my opinion) if that kind of craftsmanship would have left there shop they would be very upset and would want to take care of the customer. Most builders have guarantees on there workman ship that it will last (except the barrel, and not a excessive amount of Abuse) and not just a couple of years. I am not a expert but the craftsmen ship that I see in the video is crappy.

Not to mention I hate<span style="font-weight: bold"> <span style="text-decoration: underline">most</span></span> lawyers. That is retarded. He sent a lawyer to do his job. Why didn't he become a member and try to explain himself, or say its a "fake" rifle that I didn't build.
 
Re: WARNING ~ tacticalrifles.net ~ My experience

A few years ago I wanted to get into precision shooting and considered them.... of course there brochure was awesome!

After waiting a few years and going with Mark @ SAC I'm glad I did.

Who knows, my first rifle my have been this one and it may have ruined my outlook on the whole sport. Sorry to the OP but happy for you it was made right by a competent smith.

I can tell you this, I'll never own one and I'll make sure all MY "real operators" know about them.

Re: WARNING ~ tacticalrifles.net ~ My experience

imagine how much cash could have been salvaged in the long run had the company dealt with this issue right away? Any potential customer who does their research will find this thread immediately.

The short term cost of paying back $900.00 could have saved several thousands of dollars, maybe even more multiplying by years...obviously, paying back some of the money would implicitly indicate an error on the company's behalf. I guess the company will never know what might have been.

That, my friends, is called opporunity cost, and this opportunity is going to cost real big.

To the OP, a good friend of mine always tells me, "you have got to pay for education, in one way or another, time or money..." consider your payment paid in full. Glad you got your rifle repaired.

Sad, indeed.

Re: WARNING ~ tacticalrifles.net ~ My experience

I've been through this same thing with Shooter's Depot and their shitty carbon fiber suppressors. The horrible product and service, then the shills trash talking their customers on forums, Youtube, etc. They are still in business somehow also. People just don't know what they are getting into. The best you can do is put this stuff online and hope lots of people see it.

Thanks to the OP and gunsmith who posted this and got the truth out.

Not a day goes by that I don't remember getting screwed over by Shooter's Depot, but I've got some solace in knowing that I've helped others avoid the same.

Re: WARNING ~ tacticalrifles.net ~ My experience

Hmmm. That thread on the other forum reminds me of a fellow I met at the new MTC shooting place here in Michigan.

He explained to me he ordered a rifle from these folks over a year prior, and was getting all kinds of run-around on why it wasn't ready. He'd been promised 3-4 months.

What a bummer that outfit is.
