I call the Mfg of the action I wanted on Monday. The nice lady said everyone was out of the shop. They went to a shooting completion over the weekend and they would be back in the shop Tuesday. Gave her my phone # and name and she said someone would contact first thing Tuesday. I don't like it when people can't return a simple phone call. MAN

I probably called the same place Monday. I didn't leave my number or a msg as the nice lady offered. I called Tuesday morning and spoke with who I needed to speak to and got my issue taken care of. I understand that msgs get delayed, lost, forgot. So I prefer to call again when my schedule allows it. Last thing I want is to play phone tag because they call when I'm tied up at work.

Compared to waiting 8 to 12 months to get a custom action, a 1 day delay in getting a call back is the least of your coming heartaches.

I have found in the last few years I prefer to not rely one any one else. If I want it to happen I make the call. I've had a lot going on with my elderly parents the last few years and I think you could die before someone in the medical profession gets back to you. If you don't want to be dissapointed, keep making the call. Once I accepted that fact life got less frustrating.

Call them back. Messages get forgotten etc. and you're probably not the only one to call their shop on Monday so have some patience.

Try this: Place a want to buy add in the "classifieds" section of the forums that pertains to your needs. It works. Two days ago, another member here was looking to buy an action I had. It was close to what he wanted, but not"really" what he wanted. So, to help out, I posted a WTB add and sent an e-mail to a dealer of Defiance actions. Within about 2 hours, I had a pm from a member with an action "in hand" and forwarded it to the buyer. Next morning, the deal was done. Somewhere around noon that day, the Defiance dealer emailed me back saying it would take three months to get the sought after action. Not the whole story but ya get my point.
^^^Excellent advice. Many dealers have them in stock or have orders placed for actions for stock. Your wait time can be cut dramatically over buying from the manufacturer. I have found this to be the case with many firearm related items that are in high demand/low manufacturing output.
I believe nothing technical nor important can correctly occur over a phone.
With this, all order communications are within emailing. It's in black & white.
Where they don't respond with emailing, my money goes where they do.
They still lie, but it's just that much easier to spot the liars.

If you want a great action and service to go with it give Kelblys a call
More than likely Jim or one of his sons will answer the phone
