In my 20 years of dealing with all sorts of gun work/smithing I have never been involved in a transaction so completely sub par. Series of deadlines missed, shipped back broken pieces, communication near zero, and close to a year out I still have nothing. All this for a Browning 425 butt stock. I am over being pissed and now just nonplussed.

Yup, they are a bunch of dishonest people with very sub-par work....actually they produce junk IMO........
Used them once, never again...threw their stock in the trash.....junk, absolutely junk........

I have dealt with them twice on some stocks that I had to do for people. Both times they brought me stocks from Macon and both times I was left picking up the pieces.

Have talked with Vicki more times then I care to count, April does not seem to be of much help either. Ineptitude is abound at the place.

Sorry to hear about your problems with them. I've heard a lot more bad than good about them.
I'd report them to the BBB, who knows that might get you some action.
Good luck!

I seldom take time to post here,but feel this is important to prevent someone from wasting money and time...
RUN Don't Walk as fast and as far away from Macon as you can....
I look back at my one little misadventure now with some humor when I tell the tale, and the money,?? well I can make it back.....
They are the original "one size (pattern) fits all " company, and as we all know that won't get it done when stocking Doubles....
Not wanting to hide behind any moniker I will gladly sign my name to this post and welcome a reply/rebuttal from anyone at Macon. They can recite their version,hopefully, in a somewhat more subdued tone than used toward me when I had the audacity to call them with a few "questions" regarding the Stock job on an Philadelphia Sterlingworth (a shooter,nothing more).
You see, I found it somewhat perplexing to receive my gun here at the shop completely disassembled, albeit with a new stock attached to the frame.
The discussion was really humerous when reviewed now.....
Oh yeah, we put the gun back together, and with considerable effort, (copious quantities of AcraGlas) made it function...
I gave it to a friend who puts it to work as a Rough/Waterfowler.....
Best Regards,
Paul Melton

Yup. I don't even have mine back yet but I am expecting the results to be in line the entire experience....sub par. I seldom take time to post here,but feel this is important to prevent someone from wasting money and time...

RW,
If I were you I would just demand a refund and your gun back. Regardless of what stage of the restock they are in.

R_W: I WOULD NEVER send those Yo-Yo's a gun....I only sent them one stock to duplicate and they COULD NOT do that....... If YOU HAVE A GUN THERE....please, please demand it be returned ASAP or your adventure is just beginning for sure...... Best,
Doug
