Boy, Where to start? First let me say that this post is not inflamitory, it's merely factual.

Dan Adair, while some of the other guys (Mliang, 7x57 Steve, others) who have complained about things, have valid points because they actually purchased something from us (those complaints have actually helped us in the last few stages of our business, both in quality and Customer Service issues) you though, have NEVER done business at MRC?

You may have an opinion about my father, hey, that's your opinion, and HONESTLY it's ok if you like him or not or think he's a pompass windbag or not...whatever, that's your opinion, and we each have a right to that. You said you bought a barrel from him 15 years ago, I looked and couldn't find your name in the books anywhere....but that was a long time ago and a LOT has changed since then...and that was Montana Rifleman (Barrel Manufactuer) not Montana Rifle Company (Action and Rifle manufacturer). There are two facilities here that do different things. You have never done business with me or Montana Rifle Company.

Your comments about other people in the Flathead Valley...well I'm sure I could find many people here who don't like you too, that doens't mean your a bad person or whatever you do in life is bad? That's just the way life is, show me one person who posts here who doesn't have someone who doesn't like him? But your comments about the range and me throwing tizzies? You don't know me, and I don't know you. You coudln't pick me out of a crowd of two? And I doubt anyone who has ever been to the range where I shoot even knows who I am. As to throwing tizzies, have you ever built something that you were proud of that something went wrong on? It's not throwing a tizzy, it's being frustrated because you don't want to dissapoint your customer. If I ever get to the point where I don't care if a customer is unhappy, I need to be out of the business.

Serengeti (Kilamanjaro), Gene, Erik and the rest of them have a good relationship with us, so that's just not true. In fact Gene was just here about two weeks ago, but you stated on another post that you are good friends with him so you probably already knew that?

As to the Comment about my father and Dan Lilja....good grief. Dan and my father are VERY Good Friends, and Dan is a very personable guy, call Dan and ask him if he thinks my dad would have said that. My guess is you took it wrong or backwards or he said it backwards, whatever... My father has repeatedly told people Dan is one of the, if not the best barrel maker in the world.

If you really have this much of a problem with MRC, either stop in and explain your problem to me, I'll listen, or move on. You have been calling me several names on here (different posts)for years without knowing me, yes I can be a hothead, I won't deny that. But YOU don't know that personally? All I'm saying is stop the BS. If you want to stop in and talk, I am here. If you don't, it's ok but really, if you have ZERO experience with me and MRC why get on here and try to hurt a company trying to make it in the Flathead Valley, unless you have a monatary gain from it?

For the others who have had a bad experience with Me, my father, or MRC I give the same offer I have always given, Call me up tell me the circumstances from your point of view, I'll explain mine and let's see what can be worked out? If not I can't really do anything else about it, right?

As to the Comment about my father and Les Bauska, it's close, but they did not combine, Les taught my father how to make barrels, that's it.

Now, this thread is not going to turn into a heated argument, people have said things and I wanted to say my side, that's it. I will not post again about these things, if you want to talk the phone number is out there.

As to our new Line of Production Rifles, with each new year we are growing and trying to make a better product for our customers. The Production rifles were just the next phase of growth. We have continued to learn new manufacturing processes to make better parts, faster and more productive. And we will continue to do that in the future. I will have all the info on the rifles on our website within the next week or so, except for the DGR, as we don't have the final stocks done yet. I am having more photos taken tonight and will get them on the website asap.

Thanks All and GOD Bless!
