THE RIFLE SHOPPE......AGAIN!

[Erzulis boat]

I have never dealt with the Rifle Shoppe, and am planning to purchase the assembled dog-lock mechanism for their English pistol.

Should I just buy the "sack" of parts, or is the substantial cost of an assembled lock worth it? Is the workmanship and alignment of pins, etc. top notch?

I just got an assembled lock done by a "big" name guy, and it was slapped together and crooked as heck. Maybe I am too picky. :hmm:

Their assembled locks that I've built guns around are quite nice. Getting them before you die of old age is the real problem :sleep:

Mike-

Went to your site, nice shape on those pistol butts!

After my heart quit pounding from looking at the Rifle Shoppe catalog, I figured that this must be some kind of a gag, or I was dreaming.

Then it dawns on you, there must be a catch!

Yup, I figured as much. :shake:

When they say built one at a time ... they mean it! ONE at a time ...! :crackup:

How can you tell if TRS actually has something in stock?

I guess you could call and ask them...

 

[LSU TIGER]

He called and asked if item "XYZ" was in stock. After seeing that they had the quanity of lock castings he needed, he placed an order. It did arrive a week later than they promised, but that's still better than months later.

I've never been able to get them to answer the phone. :shake:

I haven't been able to get anyone on the phone there either.

they don't answer emails
has anyone tried certified mail?

Best time to call is in the morning, they seem to answer the phone better between 9am and noon. Emails? I've sent three and have had answers to all three withing 48 hours... Other's mileage may vary.

I sent two emails a couple of weeks ago inquiring about several "do you have in stock items?" Received response on both inquiries.
