The best to all of you who had good service from CSMC. That is the way it is supposed to be. Maybe you should be buying lottery tickets as well!
I really liked the CSMC concept of bespoke modern production of Fox & Winchester 21 guns as most of the original guns don't have stock dimensions that work well for me. Unfortunately my experience with CSMC as well at that of a close friend of mine was that they provide extremely poor customer service & we both have detailed our experiences on this and other forms several times in the past.
Both of us have positive past experiences with ordering bespoke guns & dealing with gunsmiths so I don't think our expectations of CSMC were unrealistic.
I was so disgusted by my former dealings with CSMC That when my 12 ga CSMC Model 21 became so loose & off face after only around 8000 rounds of low pressure 7/8 oz loads that it clattered when you shook it (and this was with the bolt adjustment screw all the way in) that i sent it to an independent gunsmith that posts on this forum to install a new joint pin & properly fit it to the hook rather than send it back to CSMC for repair under their lifetime warranty.
Something else may go wrong with it in the next 8000 rounds or so but I'm willing to bet that it won't be coming off face again because of a poorly fitted joint pin.
