I talked to a highly regarded gunsmith last November who said it’d be 6 weeks turn around on a stock. Sent it to him in December with notes as per his recommendation in our conversation.

Called in April and he’d gotten a ton of work all of a sudden and blah blah blah my stock was way back in line.

Haven’t called since cuz I don’t want to somehow get bumped to the back of the line again but he has my stock and supplies and my money but here I wait.

I lost count, but it’s been a while… started this project in 2008 so I can ton be in a huge hurry but holy moly do peoples’ word mean anything at all anymore??

In my business it’s under promise/over deliver. That way if “stuff happens” as it inevitably will, I can still make my commitments.
