So much to complain about lately, thought I would share some positive news.
Over the last year I've had some excellent experiences from some of our small gun businesses.
BAT - excellent service. Quoted one year on an SV action. To make up for the long turn around they offered any style fluted bolt which I took them up on. Got the action in a little over six months. Under promise and over deliver. Outstanding.
Larry Scott - ordered two triggers. Larry shipped what must have been the next day, before I was able to get the check to him. All my triggers will come from Larry from now on.
Krieger Barrels - very nice people to deal with, by email and over the phone. Another under promise and over deliver as I got the barrel a couple months ahead of expected. I will buy from them again.
McMillan stocks - much faster delivery then anticipated. I ordered a tiger stripe combination of orange and black and the lady said sometimes that doesn't turn out well, and directed me to a website to take a look. I got what she suggested and couldn't be happier. Looks awesome and the fit and finish is great.
Harrells - everyone knows these are nice guys to deal with. I ordered a pair of rings on their website. Order said actual shipping costs will be added to the order. I get the rings and no shipping charges were included in the bill. I expected $5 to $10. Package shows $2.47 for shipping...they absorbed that cost. The rings are the best dove tail rings I have ever bought. I have some JJ Industries and Kelblys which are good, but these Harrell's are just a little bit better. They have earned my business.
Mike Lucas - my email about a bore guide was returned within 8 hours. I provided the details, Mike came back with a price, time frame as to when he could ship, and what to do next. I replied that I agreed to those terms and he said he would add it to the next production run. I'm expecting it in mid December. His prices have gone up but they are worth every penny.
Some things in America are already great!
