Gunsmithing Remington Bolt handle broke off at solder joint

Re: Remington Bolt handle broke off at solder joint

Nothing against the guy, but when I open a web page and it screams something about religion. I usually move on to someone who isn't so bent on doing business around their religion. It just screams look at me I am honest since I am a devout Christian.

"I would also like to give credit to my Lord Jesus Christ for all that He has blessed me with, for without Him it would all be in vain.

The Lord has blessed me with four children and a wonderful wife that supports me 110% and is also a very key part of my business."

Not sure why, but this rubs me the wrong way and cannot even begin to explain why. Nothing against Christianity, but for some reason people doing this Irks the hell out of me.

Dealt with Dan though, Fantastic job

I think exactly opposite...props to Nate at Straight Shot Gunsmithing for giving God the glory, not only in his business but in everything he does. I wish there were more like him.

Hmmmm.....Nothing against the guy......but because he isn't ashamed of what he believes and posts such on his website he isn't worthy of your business????

Yea, guess I would much rather do business with a guy that makes post after post of narcassistic, self serving, abrasive, rude and condescending remarks about how other smiths or hobbyists do things!!!!! It makes for a better business man with better work ethics??????

Perhaps if you had met Nate in person you would understand...then again maybe not!

just because you have found religion does not mean you have ethics and vice versa and while you are looking down on someone for not doing buisness with him because of having things of religious nature on his website ask yourself if you would do buisness with someone who is anti religion or maybe a different religion.
 
Re: Remington Bolt handle broke off at solder joint

I never mentioned a word about religion or what kind. I was trying to MAKE the point that because a person referred to such on his/her website was a poor excuse to NOT do business with that person/persons. I also have run across many "so called religious" people whom I would NEVER do business with. Not because of their beliefs but because of what type of a person they are!!!!!

I happen to know Nate Dagley personally and know what he stands for and what kind of business person he is and the quality of his work. Have never seen ANYWHERE on the net where he ever bashed another business or a person. Cannot say same for the other reference here who even bashed Nate for some reason known apparently only to that business person. Guess the best advertising is apparently to bash your competition????

My point again was the negative comment to a great guy with high regard for the work he does and how he treats other people whether close friends or absolute strangers. A person like that does not deserve negative, degradeing or insulting comments from anyone, especially if they have an axe to grind for no apparent reason.

Now I am done posting for another month or so.

AZ....you know he wasn't talking about Dan in that post?
 
Re: Remington Bolt handle broke off at solder joint

Greg Tannel at Gre-Tan Rifles silver brazes Rem bolt handles, here's the price list . Can also add machine screws. Pricey but top flight work. Built a couple Rem700s per my specs, no connection otherwise.

FWIW, Pete
 
Re: Remington Bolt handle broke off at solder joint

although not the case here, my father did tell me when i was young not to trust any man that walks about spouting bible versus. Nate's a solid fella. He lets god do his thinking. I do the same and it got my head out of a bottle. Havent had a drink in seven years!!! I couldnt have done it alone!! Lee
 
Re: Remington Bolt handle broke off at solder joint

I dont think it was a negative comment, like I said nothing against Nate he probably does great work. Some things Irk people more than others.

Keith, you are mistakingly attributing Dan's comments to Nate there....

Both are very proficient smiths goot with welding/timing bolts from what I understand. My personal thoughts on either's pesonal opinions would have no place here, but if I needed precision welding/timing of a bolt, either's reputation for quality work would be enough to qualify them in my mind.
Personally I'd contact both and see who has the shortest current backlog and go from there.

My mistake. Edited that out

I still feel the same way about the "advertisement" on a business site. I see it as kind of a personal thing and you want to fill your life with it, fill YOUR life with it and stop trying to push it on others. You wouldnt believe the number of people here who go door to door and do that. Dont like being told what to believe or who to thank for life.
 
Re: Remington Bolt handle broke off at solder joint

What happened to just letting your quality of work and reputation speak for you. Nate appears to be a phenominal smith, as he gets very good reviews. That alone would be all I need to give him my buisness. If someone who thanks God on their website, and has quotes from the bible is what you need....well he has that too. I pay no attention to the whole religious recognition on his site. The only time it would catch my eye is if Jesus popped up holding a rifle giving a thumbs up. Now thats an endorsement.
 
Re: Remington Bolt handle broke off at solder joint

To all whom it may concern,

First of all I would like to clarify that when you are dealing with Nathan Dagley at Straight Shot Gunsmithing you are dealing with a sinner, prone to imperfections, prone to forgetfulness as well as many other faults.

On the bright side I am aware of this and my constant desire is to learn more and become better at what I do, without my customers this business would not be, therefore I feel it very important to give you all the best service I am capable of, again I am a one man shop with a family. There are many things in life that are out of my control, this can hinder the service I would like to give my customers as a constant.

As far as religion on my website, if someone is excited about something, you will hear about it. I have read several posts where someone's wife or relative or friend gave them a huge gift and they were very excited about it and posted it just to share their gratefulness and excitement about it.

I have been given a gift that I do not deserve, but given none the less. I am excited about it! therefore I will share it. I also believe this gift is for all who will receive it. I will not push it on anybody, in fact most of my friends after knowing me for awhile have to ask me if I'm a Christian, my desire is that the way I live my life will be a testimony, not necessarily the words that come out of my mouth. I do not like things being crammed down my throat or being pushed on me, therefor I try not to do the same. I do like to think for myself and hear about things other people are excited about, weather I embrace their belief or not.

If you go on my website or come in my house you may be offended by what you read there or by what I stand for, I will not try to change this as for me to please all of you, I would have to be two faced as there are many different views, beliefs and understandings. I will stand for what I believe and I will do it with boldness. I have NO respect for two faced people and will do my best, with His help to be completely loyal to only one, my Lord Jesus Christ. For no one can serve two masters.......

Well put sir. You will have my business the next time I need something done, i don't care what the wait time is.
 
Re: Remington Bolt handle broke off at solder join

I have used Nate and "other" for bolt handle installation. All I can say is that Nate is first class to deal with and his work is first class as well. He will get my business when a build needs bolt handle attention as I cannot do this in house. I have experienced less than satisfaction with "other". SR
 
Re: Remington Bolt handle broke off at solder join

This has little to do about Nate, please do not take this as anything but an observation of MINE. I remember watching Robbie Kneivel jump a bunch of buses on a silly Fox special. He lands it, drives up to the reporter, and says "I'd like to thank my Lord and personal savior Jesus Christ!" I just kept laughing to myself thinking that with all of the shit going on in the world, I doubt Jesus gives a shit about some hillbilly jumping a motorcycle over some busses at a county fair.

Do you install custom bolt knobs?

Re: Remington Bolt handle broke off at solder joint

You might also try Carl Feldcamp a Kampfeld custom. He does the Tig welding. Last time I talked to him ( about 3 weeks ago ) his turnaround was 2 weeks.

I have used Dan on a couple of bolts and I have since moved to other vendors for my own reasons. If you do some looking around, you will find that he is pretty opinionated and has made some pretty shi**y remarks about the folks here on the hide. Last time I used him, his turnaround was about 10 days from mail box to ail box.
