Hello again.
I just got my hands on my McMillan stock that I've been patiently waiting for the last three months. Feels great, looks good... But seriously, an installed-pillar is missing... It clearly states two pillars on the order form, as well as on the paper taped to the side of the stock. To add insult to the injury, the "2* MACHINED-IN PILLARS -installed" (verbatim from the side-sheet) is
highlighted. I expect this sort of Mickey-mouse mistake from B&C, or Choate, not from McM. Not after waiting over three months and having spent nearly a thousand CAD after the customs are included into the price.
I apologize if I sound "moved", but I won't hide it, I'm pretty upset at this point. I'm now going to be out a stock until this is corrected, does this mean I need to wait an extra three months to receive the product I originally ordered? Am I going to have to pay taxes at customs again? Will I be held responsible for shipping costs to and from again? I desired the pillars to be installed by McM, not bedded by my gunsmith (not that he does bad work, but I'm now convinced that pillars need to be integral to the stock... IMO, of course.) If you folks declare a value coming back for insurance purposes... I'm going to get dinged again by Canada Customs Revenue (likely regardless if you declare it as warranty work), and another $106 will go to the government for their misspending pleasures.
My gunsmith has been made aware that he won't be working on my rifle (he'll be bedding my action into the A5, timing-work done as well), so my spot is now filled by someone else, and he's not taking any more work until he's caught up. I'm not sure how it is south of the border, but up here getting any decent 'smith to work on your stuff takes
forever, and if a gunsmith isn't busy... That's usually a sign to stay far away. So as you can see, I'm not really wanting to switch from someone I trust...
I kindly wait for your reply, I hope you understand my frustrations are nothing personal.
