Sometimes I have the impression that Riflesmiths are from another planet, people difficult to communicate with and a little out of sync.
18 months ago I ordered a custom made rifle from a well known German Riflesmith. A more or less straight forward rifle, nothing exotic so to say. 308W short action, Lothar Walther barrel and a RCS stock. No difficult obtainable items I thought, anyhow all stuff is advertised on the owners WebShop. What I have is the promise that the rifle would be ready before Christmas (that was last years Christmas) but it's almost Christmas again and still no rifle. Would 18 months be a reasonable delivery time or should I have more patience? On Sniper's Hide forum I read messages posted by happy people who ordered and received from the same Riflesmith, I wonder how long they had to wait.
