Any word on the Avalanche Charging Handles? I'm definitely looking forward to picking one of these up once they become available!

We are on the cusp of their release.  Just in the final T&E stages.  

Does it stick out more than the raptor CH? I dont really want to have something that could hook up on anything. raptor is probably the widest handle I would go.

Depends on the attached latch.  The cylinders and octagonal barrels are comparable to that of the raptor.  The curved latch might be a smidge longer.  Mind you, we are still in the T&E phase before final production.

So............ soon?

Soon...  

Huh. Never thought something I wanted so badly would turn me off to a company i previously loved.

What's this supposed to mean.

Someone who doesn't know me or owe me anything at all went out if his way to give me a tid bit of info that I was super grateful for, more than I could convey, and when I acted on it someone else couldn't return multiple phone calls.  

And I hesitate to even write this but shit like this burns me up and Id want to know if I owner/ran a place and my people couldn't pick up a freaking phone.

Dunno. Maybe it's just me.

I'm with spizike9.  Pretty cryptic.  If there is an issue, IM me and I'll look into it.

I'm just not going to name names.

It's just that there is a guy there who can't be bothered to return phone calls. One left voice mail and one left message that was post it to his monitor as I was told he just left for lunch when I called at 11:34 on Tuesday.

Now I have to worry that I won't get any service if I need it with products purchased from Rainier.   One might say that's a big jump to make but is it?  

Like I ssid, I got told to call a specific person by a guy here who is beyond awesome. It's just a shame that  now I lost a vendor that I trusted.

I mean, even if he called back and said there was less than zero that he could do I would have been 100% fine with that as I wasn't even expecting that much to begin with.  I mean this really should have been nothing except maybe me being a super happy customer but sorry, it's me. I have issues with stuff like this which I should probably just let go of.  Returning phone calls is such a simple basic thing though.

I know you guys are super busy and I know shit happens like lost numbers which is why I called back the second time.

But I'll drop it now. A part of me feels bad because at the end of the day I would have gotten the most out if it and I don't want the guy who gave me the heads up to get any blow back or regret he even acknowledged me. Too which I'm still grateful he did.

Nah, if you talked to me, shoot me and email or IM/PM and I'll know it was the same person I was talking to.  I referred ONE SINGLE PERSON to Mike, but I understand that Mike is as busy as a one legged ass kicker at an ass kicking convention.  I'll take the heat on this.  If you are the same person I talked to, contact me, and I'll send you one of my personal ones.  Done, end of story, no shame on anyone.  

If you are the same person I spoke with, and you still feel that isn't enough, I'll send you one of the test prints/ 16x20 pictures I did for a knife that I carry and love.  

If that still isn't enough, I'll write whatever you want on the picture and sign it.  The print will be a limited edition.

If that STILL isn't enough, you can bear my love child, but we will have to give it a different last name, and I refuse to pay child support.



Seriously, the guy I referred you to is a good guy.  If you caught him on a bad day, I'll send you my PERSONAL Avalanche CH.  If you want, I'll even send you the above noted print.  I have that much faith in the guy I mentioned, I'll fall on my own sword for this one.  

PS-  Agreement to the above means I also get to call you names and harass you on a semi regular basis, but not to include holidays.

It is entirely my fault for not contacting a specific someone to know to expect a call or email.  My fault.  Me me me me.

I made comments, they weren't backed up, that falls on me.  I HATE when people play the blame game, so I will make it public and easy that it is all my fault.  

If it is the person I am thinking of, we had a private conversation, and he is being cryptic for the sole reason of not calling me out.  I respect that , especially in a world where people cry and complain over everything, and try to blame everyone else for everything that doesn't go right.  In this case, I didn't make contact with someone else, and because of that something evidently didn't happen.  This is my fault, and he is being cool about it.  

I will personally make that right.  No fault of Rainier Arms, and no issues with the product.  Someone was very happy that I was going out of the way for them, and the lack of completion with that issue is something I will take total blame for.  

Man I'm so so so so sorry this is even taking up your time. I really am.

I know those guys are busy at Rainier. They get a lot of business and they deserve it because they are G2G. I'm sure Dave is the man and truth be told I wasn't even going to call back a second time because I figured he was busy. My thought process was maybe the voice mail messed up or something. And then after the second phone call i really was going to drop it but it was a crappy morning. We just moved and I've been dealing with people from Cox and Direct TV and Sprint and the electric company and it just seems like no one can do even the simplest things they say they will and they don't give a crap on top of it.

So my refuge is the CS I get from Rainer and some other firearm related places and when I didn't hear back it was on top of all the other stuff. Bottom line was it me not controlling myself and my emotion. I think we all know Rainier is definitely a place we can all trust. Sorry for saying it isn't.

And this is all because of that damn sexy ass Avalanche with the knurled handles. Lol I swear I saw that thing and got hard!  And I don't get to worker up over parts anymore. Not to mention it's pretty much the only stock part left on my AR. And between a 17 month old and a SHITLOAD Of health problems I don't get to shoot as much as I use to.  

But you didn't have to even acknowledge my IM let alone give me that info and you sure as shit didn't have to come here and say what you did. I really really appreciate that.

Can I have your love child? No child support needed. Just  a China Doll for her.

ahahahaha....lol

I usually use my mobile which goes to the bottom of the page first so I just saw this post.

Dude, I hope you don't make babies that have big heads, my hips are pretty damn skinny  Child support you say......I hadn't even thought of that.....until now!  I'll take it in the form of AR parts! hahahah  I'm high maintenance too so I'll need alimony in bullets lol

I have no doubts he's on point. Especially if you're backing him. Like I said it was just a shitty morning for me.  I know those guys are busy and let's face it, miscommunication comprises 90% of the worlds problems IMO.

And I feel bad.  Are you sure you want to part with something that awesome?  At this point you can stalk me at the interval of your choosing lol
