Carmoney Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 So you know exactly where things stand with your gun and yet you're posting your "question" here anyway? If I were Rich D. and I saw this thread I would send your gun straight back to you and suggest that you go find a "faster" gunsmith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentG Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) So you know exactly where things stand with your gun and yet you're posting your "question" here anyway? If I were Rich D. and I saw this thread I would send your gun straight back to you and suggest that you go find a "faster" gunsmith. I might think thats going to far but the fact OP DID by default call his integrity into play wouldnt hold it against him if he DID send it back. I have had a couple of his guns, still have one, and asked questions and bought a few parts in the last few years. He may just be that busy. OR maybe he should rush your gun thru and send you something you may not be happy with? You need to bow deeply, and appolgize if not now, when your get your gun. Compared to what some of the snob $^I smiths charge Rich is a deal. Bad form on your part. Edited June 21, 2012 by Kent Grewe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaster113 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Rich just put on a set of sights on my SIG P226. A pretty small job in the big scheme of things that he did not charge alot of money for. He got me my slide back right around the time he said he would; about 2-3 weeks. He even apologized for being a little late cause he was getting backed up. so depending on the extent of the work being done, nowadays if the gun takes a little longer than estimated then thats just how it goes. My last two Limited guns took about a month longer than estimated, which is fine by me and totally expected with how all of the top smiths are so busy with the work we shooters are giving them. He does great work and charges very reasonable prices, so one must be patient. I definitely will give him more business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH45 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Only 4 weeks and you're getting antsy already? I've waited for years, from other smiths! I've had Rich do work for me, in the past, and highly recommend him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bshooter Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Rich is very busy. Any good gunsmith will be busy. Be patient because it will be worth the wait. I was at his shop just after the Single Stack Nationals and he was telling me how much work he had. I think he spends some time in his shop 7 days a week.
