Cameron Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Just like getting your custom gun, the mags are a thing of beauty. Can't wait to put a few rounds thru them this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blockhead Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I'm glad to see the enthusiasm for Beven's work. He has a great reputation and it's well earned. However, while I'm excited to see his business prosper (I wouldn't want it any other way!!), I sure miss seeing him out at the range. Between his backlog and a dead or dieing C-N-C machine, he doesn't have any time to shoot. Bevan's a great example of something we see a lot in our sport (and life in general I think). An individual invests their time and energy into doing something really well. The market recognizes the added value of their product, which in our case is mags and optics that function flawlessly. This results in demand. The demand causes leadtimes to increase. As leadtimes increase beyond the expectations of the market, customer satifaction takes a hit. I remember a month or so back when BG was taking a lot of heat in this very forum over leadtimes (mostly due to a supplier issue he had no control over). I've seen it happen to others as well. I wish I had an easy solution to this paradox but I don't. I'm going to keep buying goods and services from Bevan (and others like him). I hope everybody else does as well. I have 5 mags for a new limited gun that I'm going to send him next month. If adding some weeks to my leadtime gives him the space to get some breathing room, that'd be cool with me.

Flyin40 Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 It was a pretty simple solution for me. Buy new tubes(we all want an excuse for some extra mags) and send them to him to get tuned Keep shooting the old ones until the new ones arrive. The swap them out and send the old ones to him. I look at it like this, for those who believe he supplies the best product, those people will wait and not worry about it. These people alone will keep him busy. I knew going into it there was going to be a wait. If Beven would have told me 12 weeks I would of still sent the mag. I used his stuff all last year(untuned) and they ran great the entire year.

Cuz Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I am due to be getting my 3 140's and a 170 back TODAY!!!!!!! WWOOOOHHHOOOO Cameron, How long did it take to get them done? -Cuz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 About 10 weeks, but I know he had a full plate when I sent them. Plus I remember several people on BE that had him doing Doctor sight stuff. He said he was pretty caught up with his work load, so I would just give him a call and see what his lead time is. Whatever it is, it is worth the wait. All 5 of my Beven tuned mags are flawless.

Flyin40 I didn't have anything when he built my Limited mags, so they were about $125 a mag. My 9major mags were about $165 or so for the 140mm, and $200+ for the big stick. And ... worth ... every ... penny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
