Thread: 100 days after paying

For comparison, I had a barrel fitted by a lesser known north island gunsmith and had it back within a week, job done. I did pay for the barrel and arrange for it to be delivered to the Smith.

I'd suspect either something embarrassing has happened like put the barrel on the wrong gun, lost s crucial part etc or else he has psych problems like depression or alcohol. Unlikely that he really intended to steal $2500 and half a gun from you. Or something you did inadvertently caused a problem like incorrect contact info. Things may not be as bad as they sound.

Looks like you're new to the forum. Do you have another handle ? Tell us a bit about yourself, what sort of shooting do you do, what was the gun you were getting made ? All interesting stuff.
