    Never good when a vendor disappears like this. Hopefully everything works out.

      That sucks.
      However that is a pretty impressive turnaround for builds right now.

          He told me it’s check only. I mailed him a personal check.

            Contact your bank and tell them this is a case of fraud. They may be able to recover the funds. I've heard stories of personal checks being stopped and funds reversed, months later.
            Call his local police dept. Some states actually care about fraud, unlike commiefornia.

              Carlos is known to be lower than sh1tty in customer communication.

              Imo, "check only" is a very bad sign.

              If it's not a long drive, you might just drop by.

              I'd agree with stopping payment, if it's not too late.

                They have a nice website and good reviews, I would be surprised if he just decided to start ripping people off. Maybe he has covid.

                I want to call to see if they answer, but I don't know what I'd say if they did answer.

                "Uh, hello, uh, I think I got the wrong number, sorry"

                      This is a bad sign. I'm not saying anything untoward is going on, but when a vendor refuses to take credit cards - be very wary.

                          I was hesitating to mail him the check too but so many people said good things about his build so I thought it should be no issues.

                              That's nice rifle, I don't mind the wait for good work. Hopefully I receive mine soon

He must have changed his policies since I was able to pay only as it progressed - which took several months (he sent updates). 3 rifles in the time he specified is pretty quick. Hopefully, he gets back to you soon and isn’t having health or staffing issues. I know he became super swamped doing work for other companies after finishing my rifle.
