I'm sorry they can't be exposed here where it really counts... perhaps we can post something like this and anyone who wants to know gets a PM for posting. Hint Hint.

Rob Boudrie Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Take their current domain name, add "sucks" before the ".com", register it and get low cost web hosting to explain the issue. Soon enough, it will show up on google searches when people start looking for them. I once had a company (not in the gun business) fail to return my calls for three weeks. I called the company and told the person who kept taking messages with no action "Tell you president this is what will happen on the internet tonite. He has one hour to have someone call me or my plan goes into action. Got that written down? Thanks. It's your move - my next action won't be another phone call to you, as this is your last chance to call me before I start building a website." It took 20 minutes to get a call back, and 48 hours to get my problem that had been festering for weeks resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Orr Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Send Guido the killer pimp to talk to the man. Sending a lawyer is way too nasty and inhuman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Butch, Sorry to hear about it and thanks for the info. I figured it was him. That guy is shady as hell and questionable at best in every conversation I've had with him. Funny how he prides himself on service and bashes other 'smiths/builders including JP and Benny. Hope it works out and if there's anything that I can do, do not hesitate to ask. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Butch, Just an update. On another forum, he's claiming that the barrel has been packaged up and delivered to you only a week later than promised. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bountyhunter Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 filed complaints with the BBB, county consumer affairs and dist atty office. meanwhile, no AR for upcoming 3 gun matches. BBB is useless, dist attorney has better things to do. I have had good luck with the state's attorney general office in the past in similar situations. I got ripped off by K-Mart on some tires and the AG fried their butts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
