Reddog,

Yes, I have a great deal of experience dealing with Jim. Use the search feature and you will find my old posts on the subject.

Jim was involoved in a very bad accident this summer. It took almost two months to get my trigger back. However, that is not a normal occurence. More importantly, when the trigger came back it was perfect....

I would definitely recommend his services.

RE: triggersmith.com
 

Was his accident just recent and is he O.K.? I sent my trigger to him 1 month ago and have been corresponding through email until recently. Haven't heard from him in a while but the last time I did he told me he received my trigger and would ship itout on 7/24/06. I hope hope everything is alright with him. Thanks for the info. jcchartboy.

RE: triggersmith.com
 

The accident was near the end of May.

I received my trigger back around the time you sent yours in. I think he was still a bit backed up at that time. As long as he had recieved your trigger I would not worry about it, it is worth the wait.

It might have been one of your old posts that I decided to send Jim my trigger to work on. I have no doubt that when I get it back it will be better. I'm just eager to start shooting again. By the way, what pull weight did you get JC? I assume you have a model 700.

I also am waiting to get a trigger back from triggersmith. The last e-mail I got from Jim was on July 21st saying that my trigger would ship on the 24th. I'm starting to get somewhat concerned.I had no idea he'd been in an accident. Hope he is OK.

RE: triggersmith.com
 

The last time I heard from him was the 21st of July too. I've since emailed Jim 3 times but no response. I can understand delays, but just let me know there is one. You're not alone with your concerns Cblainez71.

RE: triggersmith.com
 

This happened almost three months...However I know he was still in/out ofthe hospital last month...

Dear customer,

Some of you will have received notice of this, others may receive it and it may not apply. I am simply replying to all those in Jim’s in box.

Mr. Piggwas injured seriously in a motorcycle accident, and remains in the hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. It is expected that he will be released early next week. Jimsuffered some internal injuries and some broken bones, and has received skin grafts on his left side. He has assured me that he is ready and able to work on the serious backlog of triggers.

If you have received this in error I apologize. I really do not know the best thing other then to notify everyone at Jim’s request. He requested everyone be patient and that they are assured that everything will be OK.

Sincerely,
Brad J. Herbert
Friend of the family

RE: triggersmith.com
 

Did Jim keep in touch with you JC during your wait for two months? I'm getting a little frustrated not hearing from him. I would be happy if he or someone wouldjust tell me what the delay was instead of not responding to my emails.

RE: triggersmith.com
 

I was in the same exact position you were....

JC

RE: triggersmith.com
 

Still nothing since my last e-mail from the triggersmith on July 21st. It's now been 4 weeks without any acknowledgement as to when my trigger will be sent back to me. I wasn't able to take it on a prairie dog shoot lastweek and am now worried I will not have it in time for antelope season (the reason I bought the gun and sent the trigger to be adjusted in the first place).

RE: triggersmith.com
 

I hear you Cblainez. I sent an email today to the local Undersheriff to get a deputy to go check on him. I'll post something if I hear anything back.

If anyone hears anything please post.

Thanks

RE: triggersmith.com
 

Is this a good thing to do for a deer rifle, or is the trigger set at "too light" generally afterwards? I have a 700 xcr and would like to lighten it up some.

A side note, there is another service noted on ebay now by bcgunsmithing. Is anyone aware of their service? I did notice 2 recent negative feedbacks on ebay for triggersmith for clients not receiving their stuff or getting replies to emails.

RE: triggersmith.com
 

Any word on Jim Pigg? I too sent him 3 triggers to be serviced on 6/26 and have received 1 email on 7/21 stating that the triggers wouldbe serviced and shippedby 7/25, but still haven't received the triggers or communication to the half dozen email messages that I've sent. Very frusterating, since I've got a Colorado hunting trip planned and no gun to take.

RE: triggersmith.com
 

For whatever it is worth I last spoke with Jim on 7/18....

RE: triggersmith.com
 

After 46 days of waiting and 33 days of not hearing from him, I got my trigger today in the mail! His reply on my receipt said, "Sorry for the delay." Just finished putting it back together and dry fired it. All I can say is WOW! What an improvement! I can't wait until Friday when I take out and start shooting again. I'm disappointed Jim could not keep in touch with me and let me know there was a delay, but I'm happy with result.For you that are waiting for your trigger, hang in there. I'm sure it will show up soon. (Hopefully before your hunting season starts!)

RE: triggersmith.com
 

I see Jim's website is down and his account suspended. I hope he's not going to hang it up now. Maybe since the accident he's just not able to do it anymore. I'm very pleased with the work he did on my trigger. It would be ashamed to see him stop now. Hopefully everything is fine with him and this is only temporary.

RE: triggersmith.com
 

Sent 2 triggers in April. They were returned in late June. super job.He said had more doctoring to do the week of July3 ?? but would be back in full swing after that. sent 2 more in early July and haven't heard anything since. Got a hunt on 10/1 and getting nervous. Hope all is well

RE: triggersmith.com
 

I've been waiting since early July, and have to admit it's starting to get a little scary. E-mails aren't answered and now that the web site is discontinued...that can't be a good sign! I agree with other posters that everybody would be alot more patient if there was better communication.(any ..for that matter)

RE: triggersmith.com
 

Have nothing to do with triggersmith.com but saw the post and pulled theweb page from the google cache. Check out the following web page. At least its still active so it may give you some hope (or it could be just that the bill ain't come yet).Had a similar experience with a guy who I sent an expensive fishing reel to blueprint that took fourmonths and ruined my tuna season. Hope it helps you guys out.

RE: triggersmith.com
 

I see he is still offering trigger service work on ebay: http://stores.ebay.com/Wyoming-Gunworks
It's getting to the point where I'm going to get the local sheriff involved.

RE: triggersmith.com
 

Something is definately amiss. The guy had great reputation and business prior to his accident. A leopard don't change its spots. As posted before a little better communication would go along way. If his recovery took a bad turn I'm sure we would all understand. Just let the folks know. The way it is perceived now is not in the best light.

RE: triggersmith.com
 

I just checked and the triggersmith website is back on again! I hope that this a good sign!

RE: triggersmith.com
 

Has anybody heard from J.Pigg recently?

RE: triggersmith.com
 

Believe me I understand your frustration. Jim had a trigger and custom reciever piece to my most expensive custom gun for months.....

However, you should seriously think about what you are saying before posting comments like the one above. First of all you know this gentleman was involved in a life threatening accident. Second you know that while it is taking awhile people have been getting their triggers back. Third, you are talking about trying to put his business, actually his entire lively hood, in jeopardy because you are concerned about your 50$ trigger! Is it really worth trying to destroy this very highly respected gunsmiths life fora pittance? In my book that is flat kicking a man when he is down...

Once again, I feel for you. I just recommend doing exactly what I did...waiting your turn until Jim can getsyour part back to you...as I am certain he will. You just have to be patient.

JC

RE: triggersmith.com
 

I'm not trying to kick anbody...I'd like to think that somebody overlooking his business would contact his customers to inform them ,or refund their triggers and money. Also ,that $50 trigger renders my $1000 deer rifle useless....and thats the only rifle I own! I personally would be much more sympathetic if I was told wat the situation was ,instead of reading about it on this forum!

RE: triggersmith.com
 

You're right you are not! Complaining about the problem hunting board is to be expected in this situation...

However, calling the cops on him is not....

JC

RE: triggersmith.com
 

Yes, I understand this and my previous 6 unanswered emails were very understanding in nature.
It's been 70 days. I've been so patient that I no longer have any recourse through PayPal.
Actually, a replacement trigger is $100 and the services are $35, multiplied by the 3 triggers I sent him and you have $395. Obviously he's not too concerned about his reputation or he would notify me of the circumstances with a time line of when I would get my triggers back.

I am not out to ruin his buisness, just want my triggers back. I've already replaced one of the triggers, so the reworked trigger will be of no use to me.

I do understand the fact that if a person is downand out, they may lose computer services due to financial circumstances. With that said, I think I'll try snail mail correspondence and give him a few more months to reply.

RE: triggersmith.com
 

A person on another forum just got a response from Jim. It appears everyone should be getting their triggers back soon. Here's the link:

RE: triggersmith.com
 

Thanks for the info! It seems like the motorcycle accident wasn't the reason for all the problems....it's them damn cows!!

RE: triggersmith.com
 

Heard from Jim today. He is working away the backlog and is doing well. Life threw the guy some curves.Hey I waited too and want my trigers back. I wouldn't want to trade places with the guy. He is doing his best in a difficult situation. A little understanding would go along way. I said before a leopard don't change his spots.....

RE: triggersmith.com
 

Also heard from Jim yesterday, after sending him an email and mailing him a letter stating my concerns. He informed me that my triggers were done and had been shipped yesterday.

RE: triggersmith.com
 

I got my trigger in the mail today with an attached apology! It seems like he's getting evrything staightened out now. Good for him(and all his customers)

RE: triggersmith.com
 

Gents,

Don't know if this helps but I just received my trigger from Jim today. I had sent my trigger to him in July. He's behind but still workin:Dg on his back log.

RE: triggersmith.com
 

I can say that I understand how this guy Jim feels and he does need everyones understanding . I was in an accident a few years ago and was 6 months getting back to work. I went from the family provider to a liability and when I finally got released to return to work I found out I'd been fired. It turned out that the S.O.B. who ran that stop sign and ruined my life was my boss's relitive, and he thought I'd have some animosity toward him. Well I certainly do now! But back to Jim, I'm glad he's back doing his work, and I hope you are all pleased with your triggers.
