RE: ML Ripoff
Heck....if its been 10 months and you really want the stock, whats another 6 weeks. I would contact him in some fashion weekly. The old squeeky wheel and oil thing. Good luck and I hope it works out to your satisfaction. Sounds like a quality piece you will enjoy for many years.

I need some advice. I sent a brand new Knight Disc Elite rifle, along with almost $500 in cash to a Stock Maker in Indiana. I did this ten months ago. I was promised my rifle in 60 days. Now the smith will not even return my e-mails. I think he has ran out ofexcuses. This Stock Maker was recommended to me by none other than Tony Knight himself. How would you guys proceed? Do I have any legal rights?Are there any ethics boards for gunsmith's? I do not wish to put his name in print yet, but that will soon change. Tom.

The Smith just sent me an e-mail stating that the stock has been carved. And that he is about to fit the action. He said it would take 4 to 6 more weeks. His question was do I want the stock or my money back(I really do want the stock). What do you guys think? Tom.

RE: ML Ripoff
Hmmm, sounds like the guy has time into the project already by carving the stock. He may not want to give a full refund at this point. Also sounds like the guy is realy busy. Sometimes people that do good work and have a reputation get so much work it is hard to keep up. And he came well recomended too. It is a hard call to make, myself being a bit impatient I would have trouble waiting, but sounds like it is half way done now. Maybe if he would give you a phone number and keep you aprized of the progress you should let him finish.

I wouldnt of let it gone this long. Send him a certified leter demanding your gun and a refund. I wouldnt care if he did get the stock carved allready that is his loss due to his being slow. If you dont get it back talk to a lawyer and have him send the guy a letter on thier letter head. Keep everyone posted and I know I wont want to send nothing to that guy.
