Marksman 934 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I dont think its fair to assume that the thread has been made with the intent of harming somebodys reputation . Dave has had an experiance , and asked openly about it . As far as Q/F`s go , i would`nt have one no matter who made it . He has said a couple of times not to take it the wrong way , and it seems that its already turning into a witch hunt . Its not that fact Craig mate, its the fact he's openly admitted that he's only used Adi once, then didnt even contact them when he had the problem mate, I would have said at least out of common courtesy it would have been the normal thing to do as in the example above Darryl Quote Link to post
robwelsh 354 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 blatent disrespect for health and saftey and still carry on doing it Is say that's an insult on its own. Just got off the phone to him about having work done. Seems easy enough to talk to..can't see the problem myself. Quote Link to post

davyt63 1,845 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 hi Dave I am not going to jump on your back! but will say this,you should really have phoned A&M and spoke to Adi,he would of sorted it out ASAP for FOC. we all know how this works slating some one on a open forum! WILDFIRE!!!! IF its one thing for sure it can damage a company's income! so you should have rang him first before posting! I have known Adi & Mandy personally for a number of years now,and they have always been good to me as many others on here TIP: think before you push the send key regards Davy 3 Quote Link to post
dave goodall 10 Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I had mine done in 2009 davy thinks its a bit late to be phoneing if i was talking about things [bANNED TEXT] arnt happening or if i hadnt been asked the question of a qf in the buddy it would of never been brought up like i say if lads cant ask a genuine question wots the point in having threads in the first place Quote Link to post
Marksman 934 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Theres asking a question and then posting a blatant disregard mate.... Like I said, A&M's work comes with a LIFETIME guarantee....next time maybe give them a call Darryl 1 Quote Link to post
robwelsh 354 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Dave the point there saying is back in 2009 you should of rang. Secondly your only question is, is why do people recommend them when they didn't do as you liked will get other people questioning whether a&m are to be used or not, that's all. 1 Quote Link to post

( like some gunsmiths I have heard of ) he will and always sort things out,its his nature I am not having a go Dave, ii just cant see why you didn't ring? in 2009 2 Quote Link to post
porkycrook 466 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 What sort of plank either pays for this "mod" or buys it as it was, then when it failed not to return to the shop and demand either an exchange or refund. Anything that you buy from new has a warranty period, in which you can return the goods that have failed. So why did Dave not return the bottle? has he either too much money as to just accept the failure or is there something else that is not being told? Any normal person would take it back to A&M Customs and see their responce, if it wasn't sorted then you jump up and down and maybe go on to here and do what he's done. TRUTH A&M Customs are a first rate gunsmith and Adi appears to me to be a fine upstanding honest person. A great deal of shooters return time and time again to them. Am getting the feeling that Dave is hiding something, that made returning the goods a nono. WHY AND WHAT? 1 Quote Link to post

zini 1,939 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) I think that Dave should just phone Addie as Addie as kindly requested and all will be sorted out between them both. Not worth escalating the post into a witch hunt as Criag says or a slating match. Both I'm sure are respectable gentlemen and will be able to put this to bed very easily and quickly between each other. My original point was, there should of been communications between the 2 parties involved before the post was written on here as it wasn't a question that was open ended it was a question stating why do so many recommend Addy and in a way where he was already guilty of producing poor and dangerous work without proper consultation and proof.

AR177 588 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Adi is a very honest gent and takes the profession very seriously, it is his livelihood after all, which is backed up by a lifetime guarantee on all products. I fully respect the fact you don't want people injured by shoddy workmanship however the bottle that ruptured by your own admission was not an A&M Custom gunsmiths one, and so far none of them have been. Unfortunately i think there has been some scaremongery by the gun club and gunsmiths that saw your QF bottle yes the best fittings QF did rupture in your thread, however as the thread says only 6 were made and most failed during manufacture, they were not from A&M. You have provided no evidence or even reasonable grounds to say that Adi has a 'blatant disrespect for health and safety' the work and standards are very high, Adi would not have released the product to you if it was not to a satisfactory and safe standard - which he undoubtably tested before sending back to you, You have had an unfortunate experience but that in part is down to yourself not contacting A&M and resolving the matter. He isn't just some guy tinkering in his shed! he is an actual gunsmith, the same as the guys who manufacture any brand of rifle. I will continue to highly recommend A&M to anyone who is looking for work to be done on their rifle because the standards or work and service are second to none, and the aftercare is top notch, this fact is echoed by Adi without question willing to resolve your problem from 2009.

robwelsh 354 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Ar , the only thing I can get done to the huntsman is a slight polish on a tiny part, basically the slingshot housing I presume. This makes it smoother,more consistent and apparently a little quieter..I don't know how..but basically if you want to tinker, this is your only option, I assume the air ranger device is the same as the huntsman ..if you pm me your email address I can forward a slingshot tune and strip down for the huntsman to show you what "little" bit is to be polished lol Quote Link to post
