Hey guys, been overseas for a while on work and just back to catch up and my days were going good until....... I've been ticked off really bad in my life, but rare is it that it is with people who are not trying to do me harm. Well, here is my deal today, and I do not know where to turn now. I bought, some time ago, a FN SPR .300wsm barreled action from a great guy here on the "Hide". Everything went as planned. It arrived to the shop I had it shipped to and they never called. They knew it was coming in but just ignored my request to call me as soon as it arrived. Well, I finially called and they said, oh, is that yours? We were going to send it back because we did not know anything about it. So, in a rush to get by there and keep them from returning it, I ran in with seconds left before they close to check it out. Well, being so late they did not want to fool with the transfer then. I ask them to open the box, and everything is as it should be. Action, bbl,bolt, mag box, follower, Williams bttm metal, 20moa rail new never fired. So, I am like I will be back as soon as I can, hold on to it and I will call you when I am on my way (these guys are like 30 miles away from my side of town). Anyway, with my line of "work", I had to leave for overseas at the last minute, so I called and asked if it would be a problem for them to hold on to it until I returned, and they said "no problem at all, we understand and it won't take up much room". So, I am out of the country, doing what I do, and the time I was to be there goes from 2 to 3 to 4 to 7 months. I get back and go to pick it up. 1st they can't find it. Then, after, duh, looking in the computer, they see it is still there but they do not know where they put it, so, I'm like, that's cool, I know it has been a while and I was away so take your time and call me when you find it, "I'm sorry I had to leave it so long" and they said "we still have it, you are a great customer...blah, blah, blah". They find it and call so I run down today and pick it up. We open the box, and I'm like, WTF, where is the bolt, and WTF, where is the rail? They rumage around for like 5 minutes and then they are like are you sure it was there? WTF, I opened the box with you when it arrived. With out so much as a we will look around some more and call you, or hey, let's see what we can do here, they are like, this is it, take it or we will send it back to where it came from. Well, I do not think they could do that since the paper work that was sent with it was also gone and the shipping lable was also cut off the box. Someone, their smith most likely took the bolt and the rail, and now it is gone and they feel no obligation to replace it. Let us not forget that my name and phone number was written on the box and on the tag around the trigger gaurd alog with the serial number. Now, I have a lump of steel that I can not use, Christmas tightened the pocket book, and I can not go shoot because I dumped everything into building this one rifle. I may list it up for sale or trade for parts for another build but damn.....WTF. Was supposed to shoot this weekend and now look.....I hate ranting and I do not like to complain about other guys livings.
