Ok folks I need some advice on how to handle a bad situation with a gunsmith please.
I live in Texas and sent all the components to have a custom Remington 700 built by a gunsmith in Colorado.
I chose the gunsmith due to his supposedly 2 week turn around time.
It’s been over 2 months now with the gunsmith promising weekly that the rifle would ship next week.
The last promise was stated to be shipped today.
Well now he won’t accept or return my calls or text messages.
What can I do to get my completed rifle or my components back?
Thanks in advance
A two-week turnaround time is lightning fast for a top-quality smith. Even the two months that you've waited thus far is still very fast. If I got a rifle back from a good smith that quickly, then I'd go out and buy Powerball tickets. A lot of smiths have also gotten covered up with work during the pandemic, so he might have a line of work out the door these days even if he was turning around good work in two weeks before.
I'd be inclined to wait a bit and see what happens. Every minute he spends on the phone or texting is a minute that he's not working on rifles.
Okie John
