I sent in a brand new 2011 Colt Series 70 to Colt's custom shop in late September last year. I was told 4 -6 months for the work, got a letter around the first of October stating -
Order Date: 9/24/2011
Needed by: 3/22/2012
I called the around mid May, and they said it should ship back in a week or two.
I emailed on 6/6 and was told "It is in the final stages. It is in polishing at this point for final polish. I hope to ship before the end of the month."
Emailed on 7/11, and was told "I have had some challenges in the polishing department, it is still there. I will make sure they have it in the cue to be done soon."
Now we are in August. And I always considered myself a patient person
For a 4-6 month (quoted) job to be approaching a year, am I wrong to start getting upset?
And for the record, Brent at Colt is an asset to that company. He is great at responding quickly, and keeping you informed - even if Colt doesn't seem to have things together IMHO.
