The only thing that has been organized about it is invoicing and receiving of funds.

I hope all you guys involved get what you paid for, regardless of the wait.

I have no dog in this, but having been the victim of good intentions gone bad on a number of occasions, this sure feels creepy.

Im really disgusted with this. At some point someone has to be accountable for taking money and not delivering the goods..

Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle *

No, I'm with you! I'm in on this just like you! I was just wondering t-10 days, 10 minutes, 10 whatever.... I just thought maybe my rifle was gonna be hand delivered by Megan Fox in 10 days or something....

Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle *

I feel for you guys that paid. That is a long wait. On the other hand, I also feel for the gunsmith, as this may ruin his reputation in the industry as a custom gunsmith. Good luck to both of you. Wit that said,....

Well there needs to be a for sure set deadline or he needs to be returning money. This is absurd

Was he sick or disabled ? Was there a death in the family ?How large of staff does this gunsmith have ,or was this gun smith a one man operation ?

 

[Iron Worker]

Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle *

20 months and $3350.00 bucks for that ?

 

[mclevela]

Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle *

Iron Worker your signature line pretty much sums up everything since the final invoice was sent to the buyers.

This is strange. How many have been invoiced and paid for the last half of the build?

 

[Iron Worker]

Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle *

Perhaps some one should contact the Chamber of Commerce of that city,or the police. I mean 25 buyers at $3350 bucks ! Were talking $80,000+ bucks ! Surely there needs to be some face to face accountability ?

Trust me, I was this <> close
I guess I'll wait it out, only because I have no choice at this point.

Late night yesterday I was provided and received evidence of MY build.
Suffice it to say it is mine and not another, it is close to completion but safety is still not worked out and details were not provided.

Dont think I'm happy about it, because I'm not.
This experience has left me very sour BUT
Both of my boys are home this weekend! Best fathers day present I could have.
Happy Pops day to you all!

Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle *

Wow, tough read, this thread. Only thing worse would be to be involved with this SH 2009-2011 build and also be waiting in the dark on the SS 5-20 group buy!

 

[chansen49]

Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle *



Has anyone actually recieved their rifle? Or have seen pictures of one?

If yes, could you post them here.

Yes, I did get proof of life.
Pictures are just like what was posted on page 9, but with different stock, yes my gun and spec.
<span style="font-weight: bold">When</span> I have the gun in hand and completed, I'll certainly post my own pic.

I did get some follow up on the safety fwiw..

<span style="font-weight: bold">"I am striving to perfect the 3 position safety. I converted a couple of rifles to a remington style as the customers were tired of waiting. I am close to completing the 3 pos. safety to my satisfaction. I would prefer to install the 3 pos. safety as that was the original build spec."</span>

For what ever the reasons Geroge has chosen to not visit here.
I dont understand or agree with that, but whatever....he has and does take phone calls during business hours and or will return the call in short order it seems.

Noob alert!!perhaps the wrong place to post... but how do I post a pic of my build on my profile when I post things or otherwise??

 

[redirt78]

Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle *

No, you've come to the right place... All these folks that have been waiting almost two years for their rifles should be more than willing to help you out

There is a thread here somewhere called "How to post PIX"

Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle *

This is crazy.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I bet many of you could have gone to gunsmithing school, graduated, and built your own rifles by now.

Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle *

Has anyone received any new updates?
I have tried calling a couple times and left messages plus one email message but have not received anything back.
Last update I received was last week of May and told it would "ship next week".

Hope all is well with Mom and Baby! George
Course I guess you could of had a couple more since starting this build

Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle *

I have a headache now after skimming through the pages. In concept it all made sense but wow this is crazy out of hand.

Great looking package once they get done though, good luck guys!

 

[kumaichi]

Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle *

This is the first snipers hide build that I participated in and I was wondering, is there a way out? Things have changed at work and I need money more than I need the rifle. I was hoping to already have it so I could try and sell it and since it's been paid in full for some time now, I'm not exactly sure about what I can do, if anything, besides wait until I get it and try to sell it.

Is there anything I can do?

Thanks,

Craig

 

[mclevela]

Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle *

You might try posting it for sale here in the classifieds. I would think some one would purchase and garnished the benefit of not having to wait to long for it.

 

[kumaichi]

Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle *

Thanks mclevela for the suggestion but I don't have enough posts to put a firearm up for sale in the Classifieds section.

Perhaps PM a mod or LL and ask for permission, they might make an exception in this case for obvious reasons... worth a shot.

 

[Lowlight]

Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle *

You have to contact George L,

We had nothing to do with the money, that is being handled by him.

 

[kumaichi]

Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle *

I contacted George, hopefully I'll hear back something from him soon.

What caliber is yours? maybe we could work something out

 

[kumaichi]

Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle *

I got mine in two calibers, .308 and 6.5mm Creedmor. I also paid for:

AAC Quick detach muzzle brake
Additional AW magazines
Forward NV mount with Rails at 12,3 and 9 o-clock. Finished to match rifle.
