Oh I do understand backlogs...but I guess I should have been a bit more clear....I am in the mfg. business...I would NEVER let myself get backlogged for 16 months,etc. Or even a month. I would first stop taking orders until I was caught up.
I am pretty sure I am not the only person who when told they have to give a half down deposit and then wait a year plus that say sorry and make more calls.
The smith I went with had the same outlook. He is a known smith,listed in the top smiths section) and I have shot one of his rifles...and won a 1000yrd match with it....and is able to build me the rifle within a couple of weeks.
Take care,Stan
