Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
He's ignored every phone call I've made to him, it's now gone past that stage where I want to keep a tangible record of all my correspondence with him.
Strange how he's not been back on here to comment on thread now he's got the photos.
I've also had a PM from someone on AGF who's had the same problems with him in the last.
I hope you'll all realise the predicament I'm in and that my options are reducing due to Richard Harvey's lack of response.
He's a nightmare to get hold of, I'm so glad he never replied to my last email
To confirm his address
Or I would be chasing him same as you now.
Hope you get things sorted soon
Avoid, avoid avoid from now on
I can understand your frustration, without having seen the issue you've got ie the photos. Communication is what makes things work and I do get annoyed myself when comms doesn't happen.
But, he's had a pretty serious operation and from the interactions I've had with him - met him once to leave off my barrels to be reblued and a couple of phone calls, he seems to be a really decent guy and I'm prepared to give him as much time as he needs as I've no doubt the job will be done. Perhaps easy for me as I'm in no rush and I do sympathise with those of you who are in a hurry or have had an issue.
Richard is no fly-by-night (IMHO) and he's had a really sh1t time recently so he gets as much leeway from me as he needs.
I hope you get your issues sorted as soon as possible.
I really don't expect anything good to come my way from this. As a "newbie" at the time I was on a loser from the start going public with my loss against a "reputable established member and vouched for good guy" I posted now purely to show that it isn't a one off failure due to extreme circumstances. It's another example of the bloke failing to hold up his end of the deal. Other newbies need to see the fails with the praise and then make a decision who to trust.
My issue with Richard is different to yours in that he's ruined my gun and lost a part and he's not communicating with me to resolve it.
I understand he's had health problems and I've cut him some slack but there only so much you can do. In addition the health issues don't justify shoddy work, he should have just sent it back with my money I paid out to have it done.
Now then gents, I'm not wanting to get involved in all this, but, I spoke to Richard by phone on the weekend of the 13/14th of April and he was still struggling health wise, had yet to return to work and told me he desperately wanted to sort all this lot out.
Richard's profile page shows that he hasn't logged into the BBS since the 14th of April so information posted to this thread probably isn't reaching him if he's had a relapse.
The best advice I can give is keep trying to contact Richard by phone or email, and if I hear anything I'll let you know ASAP.
All the best Mick
Thanks Mick, not wishing to put you in a difficult position but I have been emailing Richard and he's been ignoring them.
I think it's quite reasonable for me to post my findings considering I've paid to have a gun worked on and it's been ruined and the perpetrator doesn't seem to want to resolve the matter. In fact I've held the damining pictures back (files might be too large anyway) which Richard has a copy of sent by post on a DVD.
In fact I'll post the dates of every email I've sent him and the only single occasion I've had a reply.
I do wish he'd just resolve this matter with me.
