[QUOTE="hoo-t, post: 2432107, member: 33117"] I contacted Bob, and he was fantastic to work with. We set up the perfect package to get my 1903 to exactly where I want it. Unfortunately, when it came to the money, I experienced extreme sticker shock. I had found almost the same package at SarcoInc.com for about half the price. Now the rest of the story: I had contacted James River Armory through their "Contact Us" link on their website, regarding their restoration services. Never got a response. I had contacted CMP also through their "Contact Us" link on their website. Never got a response. I had contacted SarcoInc.com through their "Contact Us" link on their website. Never got a response. When a company puts a "Contact Us" link on their website, and then ignores inquiries they receive because of that link, it gives me a really bad feeling about doing business with them, and I generally move on. If you're going to ignore your e-mail, why don't you just remove the link???? If anyone from James River Armory, CMP, or SarcoInc.com sees this, please take notice. You have lost my business! The whole thing has frustrated me to the point of just putting the rifle back in the case and forgetting about it. I may still hit the gunshows and see if I can find anything there. Otherwise the project is dead. The frustration is compounded by an unrelated (sort of) experience. I had taken a pistol to a local "gunsmith" for a minor repair. He had the gun for about 3 months, wouldn't answer his phone or return my calls. I finally showed up at his house and got my gun back, unrepaired. I immediately took it to a local gun store, and left it there. They said their gunsmith would be in the following day and they'd let me know. Its now been about 2 weeks with no word. I realize that some repairs can take a loong time to accomplish, but this is a simple repair. At worst, I think I deserve a phone call for a status update. Am I being unreasonable? Coolhandluke, I do want to tell you that I appreciate your help with my M1903 project. As I said earlier in this post, Bob was great to work with, and I feel terrible stepping away from that purchase. Steve [/QUOTE]
