For those of you who are COUNTING....you can reference my posts somewhere back in the bowels of this thread. Nevertheless, when I sent my defective .270 stainless 24B back (Unfired) I requested a new rifle. Rick advised me he would certainly accommodate my request, but was very forthright on the phone it would be "Mid-Summer" before the stainless .270's would run again. Since then I have been idle on my end, as I will take the man at his word. I do however expect a NEW-FULLY FUNCTIONAL/ACCURATE .270 24B Forbes rifle upon re-delivery. My gut tells me they will deliver.....if for some reason I am wrong..I will simply Demand a Full Refund...and live to fight another fight! While I believe in giving a person or company a chance to "Make It Right" once....in NO WAY will I been portrayed as the "Sacrificial-Lamb" on a Retake! One and I'm Done! Come on Forbes.....Get Your Shizz together, and Right the Ship.....as you are taking on water, very, very, very fast!
