One year ago I sent a 1885 Low Wall Uberti 22LR to a gunsmith via USPS to have the trigger lightened up a bit and to have the stock sights replaced- I have used this guy before with no problems- I know some gunsmiths are busy, but after a full year of waiting with periodic checks with him about the progress, I decided enough was enough, and requested the rifle back-
Emails to him are not answered- Several phone calls have been answered by someone who says he is not the gunsmith but works for him- His standard response is that the rifle "is on his work bench"- My requests to have the rifle returned are answered by this guy saying he will leave a note for the gunsmith- I asked to be called to let me know what I owed for any work done and return shipping- Again I was told a message would be left for the gunsmith- No return calls have been recieved-
Of course all kinds of thoughts run through my head for the extraordinary delay and general runaround I am getting- Has the trigger been screwed up irrepairably?- Has he sold the rifle?-
I'd like some suggestions as to how to proceed- I'd rather not get involved with the Feds but is this an option?- Any other ideas?
