Wow, I’ve been out of the loop a bit. Had no idea about what was going on with Burkett. I have one of the last FN SLPs he built from back in the day out of his shop. He was easy to deal with, I sent him a message about the 3gun shotgun on his website and he called me next day to talk me through it. He cut down the stock to fit me better based of my supplied measurements, tuned the gun, opened the loading port, worked the lifter, glass filled the opened area so shells easily slide in and fingers aren’t mangled and then coated the gun in a moss green instead of the standard FN blue color.
Anyway, he delivered that shotgun build to me in 2 weeks. I always wanted a handgun from him but didn’t have the funding for one of his builds.
If imagine the value in the pistol shouldnt really be effected. Sure you can’t get a warranty coverage but with a 4 year old gun and being a second party buyer, does anyone expect a warranty to pass over? It’s not SV money.
