Has anyone used reprif.com? I sent some stuff to them back in September after chatting with someone on the phone. Their website says lead time 12 weeks.. I can’t get email reply, or anyone on the phone in recent weeks... starting to get nervous.

This is not the post I wanted to see. I sent them something back in March. However, Last October I sent them a glock slide, and was completed/returned in early November. So, someone works there but I'm nervous now as well.
I actually looked them up on Google maps which also has reviews, (I was expecting their address to be a dirt lot)
someone there has been responding to the reviews on there as of two weeks ago.
Maybe you can get their attention on there?

They are close to my office and I had them coat a barrel for me not too long ago. They were open. It is a small operation with two guys and nobody ever up in the front office when I have stopped by to drop off or pick up. I have never had an issue with them answering the phone though.
I'm in the same boat. I wrote one of the negative google reviews. Filed a police report, Started a small claims case.
Had a friend in CA stop by the shop, filed a complaint with the BBB, sent certified mail requesting my property etc - has completely ghosted me.
Options are : Fly out to his shop, small claims court, wait 1+ year to get your unfinished gun back, or a finished gun with dicks stenciled into the finish.
I'm blown away that someone like this can keep their FFL.
Make sure to shit on him on google, maybe it will get him upset enough to reply.

Sorry but this is WRONG. I build all the rifles at Altus and I can assure you that any solid cerakote colors are done by me (in-house) and gucci camo stuff is done by Brandon at Custom Gun Coatings.

This dudes been fired by every major company he’s doing work for. Aeros Booted Him, along with many others. Dudes too busy token that Legal Weed to get anything done. If you pester him too much he hides d**ks in your Camo pattern and sends you nice notes like “Heres Your S*** B***chboi” on your receipt.
What a shitshow. Wondering if the small claims court is getting any traction? I should have known better when they hadn’t posted since July 2020 but figured they were busy cranking out cool stuff. Hate to think about all the guys like me who are out the cost of the cerakote as well as the parts or firearms.
Very glad I went with Branden instead. I was turned off by the 6+ month wait times quoted on their website. A shame since the camo jobs they have done in the past look so nice.
You can't go wrong with Brandon at Custom Gun Coatings......I've known him for a number of years and does great work.

It's a shame this guy went awol. His work looked good and it seems he had a great reputation for at least a little while. I almost sent something and started seeing complaints online. Glad I missed out on that headache. Best of luck to anyone dealing with him.
A guy from Reddit/Facebook flew out there to confront him and attempt to get his stuff back. He videoed the whole thing and took pics. Bottom line is he was ignored and avoided at all costs. The guy went to his shop, and to the residence but no luck.
i know this is third hand info, a quick search for it might pull up the thread

Wow just happened upon this thread.
I had the same issue, but I got my gun back.
The guy is hard to reach by phone but that was the ONLY way I'd reach him. Try calling around when he opens or around a lunch break and maybe you'll get lucky.
Same thing, he had my competition rifle and after 4 months of jerking me around I told him on the phone I want my shit back. He made up a bunch of excuses about how he's super busy to which I cut him off with "I don't care." Told him I would be down the next day and then I got a text from him the same evening saying "hey we had already grit blasted your chassis in preparation for paint, give us till the end of day tomorrow and your paint job will be done"
That sort of worked out. I showed up in person, I must have had dont-fuck-with-me written on my forehead because the guys tone was 180 from the phone call. Finally showed some humility after 4-5 months, gave me my gun parts back (still warm from the oven by the way) And a bunch of swag which sits idle in a drawer.
Take aways:
1. you're not alone on this one. Do everything you can to reach him and get your property back.
2. The day I was supposed to pick up my rifle, he texted me to tell me what time. I will search like hell today through my text history from last year to see if I still have that number. If I do I'll reply back to this thread stating that I do. Since it MIGHT be a private phone number I will not dox him by posting it publicly. But if I respond back saying that I found it. Shoot me a DM and we'll talk about the weather.
Stand by.

Found it.
His work phone doesn't allow calls until 11am Pacific. Try calling him then. If it doesn't work, let me know.
That guy is me. And I'm still fucked. Have heard nothing from that clown. Although I've now been contacted by 8 other people that are in the same exact boat as I am. Working on the legal side now but it's a nightmare.
