yah see, this is why threads like this are so inappropriate...
we go aong nicely for ah while until some malcontent cant stand hit no mo an jes has to throw a bomb...
the story makes vintage firearms sound like a buch of incompetent, irresponsible fools...which they are not...
what a terrible misuse of this fine forum... Your post makes dukxdog (Bobby) seem like a malcontent-which, he is not. Not every dealer is s a Saint, ed. Best, Ted Thanks Ted.
With a fine gun on his arm, a man becomes a sporting gentleman, both on the field and off.

Latest rumor on Bachelder's is that Carson, Brad's eldest son from his first marriage, has left the company for other opportunities, and that Parker is holding off on taking in any new gunsmithing work, at least for now. Best thing might be to give them a call and ask Parker exactly what is the situation. As I do not have any guns in need of such work, I am "out of the loop" at present. RWTF

ted, neva said every dealer was a saint...
nor is this the appropriate place to air ones grievances...
bad mouthin someone here is such a cheap shot... Why is this not an appropriate place to air legitimate grievances about gunsmiths and gun dealers, Ed? I can hardly think of a better place.....one filled with knowledgeable gun people. This is an axe you like to grind, Ed and you are just wrong. Your position as a gun dealer clouds and compromises your opinion. If Bobby said he had that experience, we should believe him and act accordingly. Just as we do when at other times, when dealers and smiths are highly praised.....including Jay and Vintage Firearms. As an aside, I've had many conversations with Bobby and in fact was trading emails with him this morning. He is a stand up guy, as anyone who has attended his hunt camp will attest.

I find you generally will receive positive reviews from those you do business with if you offer them a return period after inspection, offer honest descriptions and and do not add in hidden costs. At least that has been my experience selling guns for the last 20 years, YMMV.

so booby must be some special character who has the right to burden us with his problems with somebody else?
problem is, in this case, that somebody else is not present here to defend himself...and even if he were, he should not have too do so here...
this aint the place to air ones issues wid udders...only mean spirited individuals would do so...

well, a man to man phone call with the other party might be appropriate...
grown men of good will should be able to work out their business problems...
keep it simple and keep it safe...

They told him they couldn’t find it. That suggests another conversation. You write “grown men of good will”. That’s Bobby’s point…….in his experience he wasn’t dealing with a grown man of good will.

Say what, John.. You like to accuse me of "high-jacking" your posts. I do Not deal in Ithaca M37's, regardless of gauge, so from whence does your accusation come, pray tell. Kindly refresh my memory on this, and after careful reviewing, should I feel like tendering you an apology, I shall do so forthwith. I have a few friends on this sit from Deep Dixie, but sadly, you are, at present, not in that number. More than e-mail friends, they are also gentlemen with great gun knowledge, and to whom I have sold gun related items over the past years. Somehow, I cannot seem to find a way to include you in that smallish number. Can we correct that sad situation perhaps?? RWTF

I have had mixed results with Vintage. They did sell a couple guns for me, but similar to the other comment, claimed they had to fix things before selling. In at least one case I know that particular claim was untrue.
