I can’t even bring myself to quantify the amount of money I spent on what was a favorite project of mine but what has now become a put in my stomach. Probably $6-7k?
It’s a really nicely customized Mexican SR 98 I bought here in 2008 and on which I paid as I went.
The pit in my stomach is because I sent the barreled action and a chunk of walnut with a check to a highly-regarded gunsmith in December of 2019 and was told it’d take 6 weeks to get the stock completed.
I check in with the guy once every 6-8 mon and never have any assurance that it’ll ever get done.
I’m done with this game all the guys I was comfortable working with have retired or died and I need another rifle like I need another hole in my head.
