how long to wait?

[carter]

input please ..... if you take a gun to a local gun smith and when i asked how long for the repair - i was told 3 weeks max and i was told that that it is on the long side as most of the time the guns are repaired in 2 weeks.

i selected this route rather than to return the gun to ruger as i thought that this would be faster.

now we are about 5 weeks to 6 weeks and the gun is not ready. i called a week plus ago and i was told that mine was the second to be repaired. 1 plus week later and still ?????????

how long do you give someone before you just give up on the locals??????

Just go get it back. Send it to Ruger. Problem solved.

You need to buy more guns. Once you own about 100 or so, you could care less how long the smith has one of them.

That's my favorite question......

Depends on model and what your having done to it. If parts are needed and current production 6-8 weeks easy.
If obsolete and parts no longer made 6 months to forever. I've got a Ruger 44mag rifle, needs 3 parts. been trying to find them for 2 years. no luck.

Yeah, when they break just throw'em in the back of the vault and go buy another. fix it later. I usually buy 2 or more of each model so I have a back up in case one breaks.
