Trouble contacting PMA

[ihmsakiwi]

Hi Guys,

Anybody else had issues contacting Pat at PMA? I have left two emails on their website with no replies.
Guess I'll need to make an international call to him tomorrow.

Any body here use his outside neck turning tools? Thinking of one of the "B" models for my 284 Winchester along with his carbide expander mandrel in 7mm plus another turner for my 6mmBR brass.
Having just acquired a second hand F-Class Barnard actioned rifle I'm not sure whether I actually need to outside neck-turn the 6mmBR Lapua brass at this stage. I think the 284 Winchester Lapua brass will need a tidy up once I convert new Lapua brass from 6.5 x 284 to straight 284Win.

Your thoughts?

I use his neck turner. I believe there is an Aussie agent. If memory serves me I got a carbide mandrel off them as the shipping made it work out cheaper landed in Invercargill.

I have both a model A and B neck turners. The model B is great if you want all your necks to be cut the same amount. But if you only want to clean up brass that's already pretty good, then the model A will give you the option to remove as little as you need. If you have to turn necks anyway, the model B is great IMO. I know that these guys take time off for fun. Also yesterday was a holiday.

I have both Model A and B. I prefer the micrometer. I'll reach out to Pat for you. I think he may have been out until today.

I think they had a long weekend...just received notice my vise and wrench have shipped today.

Be patient, they are catching up from a long weekend. I heard from Pat today.
I have there Model A Turner and really like it. PMA Tools, high quality and buy with confidence.

I have the "A". I spoke with Pat today. It CAN happen!

Thanks Guys. I'll not be going anywhere else.

Yes I tried the Australian agents site and he shows the items I want as out of stock.

They were great to deal with. I just bought one of their Model A blems.

If the Barnard isnt marked with a neck size it is prob a no-turn neck. Don't fuss with it IMHO.
PMA is good to deal with. Got an item from them I just didn't like and they took it back without a hassle.
