2018 Alamo Precision Rifles TBH Special Thread

Or a re-evaluation of certain suppliers.
I don’t work at APR or know any of those guys well (beyond having them build a few rifles, etc.). I’m guessing that there have been some guys that have been upset with the delays and have spoken up to APR about it but the root cause of the problem isn’t the buyer or the manufacturer. The root cause of the issues as far as I’ve been able to tell has been one (or two) suppliers that couldn’t deliver the way that they said they could. That’s just bad business for that supplier because now a VERY LARGE group of their potential client base has experienced or witnessed the debacle that is their (the supplier) inability to follow through.Last edited by RdRdrFan; 08-29-2018, 07:50 AM.

I just don't understand how the supplier can keep telling you for 3 months they will have their product in a week, and not deliver.
Will anxiously wait though for a quality piece of work, regardless! Just like a kid in the candy store.
I think Robert has done an excellent job of keeping everyone in the loop and informed of the situation.

I just got an update from Curtis. They are saying the biggest delay is due to one missing part. The roller bearing for the cocking piece did not arrive on schedule. They are expecting them to deliver next Thursday. Once they get here, we will be able to move forward on the short actions we already chambered a couple weeks back(9 were assigned and chambered but still missing bolts). The balance of the "complete" regular short actions should be coming with them(we are still missing 6). The short mag receiver bodies are not completed at this point either(we are missing 5). They are expected to complete by the time the others are ready.
