What to do, shop won't reply.

OK, thank you.

So did you have a lower at this shop too? Wondering how this would work out if a lower is involved in situation like this.

[jkhang714]

You were told 12 weeks - how big of a red flag do you need??


Every Cerakote job I have ever had done, was done in the same day.

The website states that current lead time when I ordered is 12 weeks. It still states same lead time on website. Lol.

Yes, my serialized lower, upper and handguard is all at the shop. These are the parts I'm trying to get back.

[Mr. Beretta]

Was thinking of sending some parts about 6 months ago. Per their site, they looked liked the real deal! Thank God I didn't.

I completely understand about the issues surrounding a death in the family. I've lived thru many.

But the time frame you've described is way out of line. The owner's 1st responsibility to his family. NP Next, it's his business / customers.

Certified letter requiring a signature demanding your parts/ money back then small claims court.

You're waited long enough.

Good Luck.

Good thing you didn't send in parts. You'd be in the same situation I'm in. Thank you, I will try what you suggested.

Hope your made whole Jkhang. Out the shop and get this ball rolling.

Thanks.

So I have a question…if that striped lower is technically a registered gun…then do they have possession of it legally?

Since I assume OP registered the lower, can’t he out these guys as having taken his gun?

I am no expert and am curious as to the status of that lower and how OP can leverage it to get them to give it back. I am not the guy to claim I know much about the law and lowers…and how this craphole state treats something like this.

I was thinking this same exact thing, if the shop has something that is serial numbered wouldn’t a call to the ATF get the ball rolling?

[norcal77]

Yes a brand new serialized Stripped Lower, stripped upper and handguard.

Didn’t see this…

If it were me I’d file a police report then contact the ATF and let hell rain down from above.

I hope you have a work order showing he has your stuff?

[jkhang714]

Again, this is my first time ever encountering a situation like this. It's not where there is any dialog/communication, the owner/shop is clearly in the dead and won't reply/return/communicate with me so I'm out of ideas. I wouldn't be surprised if there are other customers in the same boat as I am. I just don't know what to do at this point, I didn't even think the ATF, I will look into this too along with the suggested points above. Thanks all for the inputs, I appreciate this community.

Is the cerakote guy an FFL?

[jkhang714]

Yes, I have all paperwork/recpts/etc. Thank you all.

[Canucky]

One of the reviews---complaints claims there is no FFL on site. Easy enough to find out.

[bugsy714]

When you dropped off the serialized part did you fill out a form temper early transferring it to them? The legitimate FFL gunsmiths I have dealt with always have you fill out a form
