I am curious what your experiences with Tortort Galil receivers were. My builder swears by his stuff, and says they are worth the wait. I ordered two a month and a half ago, and am anxious to see them. I'm also a bit concerned that the guy doesn't return phone calls or emails, and Im curious what your experiences were and how long the process takes.

Thanks in advance!

They are the best on the market.

By far.

Tortort has said himself in the past that his customer service when it comes to answering emails/calls is atrocious.

I've talked to somebody named Ben a couple times on the phone at Tortort - nice dude and even recommended that I order from Atlantic Firearms if they had TT receivers in stock as they'd ship quicker than him.

Sent my excellent condition APEX ARM kit, TT receiver, and an NOS IMI barrel to Hillbilly Firearms. Been waiting 6 months now so hopefully soon! Anxious to shoot it.

Ive emailed, left a phone message, and even sent him a PM on facebook.... atrocious is an understatement! Still, his stuff looks badass, so here is hoping it arrives at my FFL...

I ordered one with lightning cuts and one with the scope mount, Atlantic just has the plain jane units or I would have gone with them. I wonder how long it takes for him to typically ship these out?

Tortort: I sent you folks a copy of my FFL info via email. There wasn't a place for it on your website. It was order #4132. Just wanted to make sure you fellas had everything you needed. If you need more specifics, I can message you.

(P.S.: thanks for the reply)

I gotta say, these receivers look slick!

I personally wonder if the wait is part of their business plan,,,,they take your money, make you wait for months (so many months you can almost no long dispute the charges on your CC), by the time you actually get something you feel lucky that you got anything at all.  Even if you detect a problem, you dont feel comfortable about sending it back because..1. you dont want to wait 4 more months for a replacement  2.  You wonder if you send it back if you will ever see anything at all.

As far as their product and my experience..The receiver i received directly from Tortort (the one Jeff Miller never touched)  had the nicest finish I have ever seen on a galil receiver.  The machining was amazing inside and out, the cutouts for the trigger and pistol grip nut looked so clean, we were wondering if it was cut with a lazer.   The only problem with the receiver was the pocket for the bullet guide was incomplete and required some additional machining for the bullet guide to fit properly (hopefully this has been corrected by now) ...the only other complaint I have on the Tortort is the slot on the back of the receiver differs from IMI.

As for customer service....its time to hire a receptionist...

Hello again tomelroy, we try to ship our ususal stuff in a timely manner and are trying to keep up!!

Also an fyi to anyone reading, the Galil options are made to order per customer request so there is a lead time. And of course if you're unhappy with any of our stuff we would offer a full replacement warranty or return.
Thank you.

Does that replacement warranty apply to the Micro Galil receivers ordered through your website or am I SOL on it?  If so please send me a replacement micro galil receiver and a trigger guard, mag catch with pin and spring, and an IMI bullet guide.  (i will rivet it on myself)  Once receiver, I will send this micro that slipped throught the QC cracks back....Thanks  #Tortortistheman  #forgetallthebadstuffIhavesaid #justbepatient

You will need to return the part for a refund, same as any other company.

Thank you.

I dont want a refund...I want a replacement.  #fullreplacementwarranty

The warranty is on Tortort products.

Tortort can get you a refund but cant speak for the replacement on the Hillbilly Micros anymore.  We no longer sell this product and have not for about a year.

We have been asking you to send this back for over a year now but you have refused.

A replacement would need to be approved by Hillbilly Firearms. Its a Hillbilly Firearms marked receiver.

When you refuse to contact the manufacturer, yes, you are SOL.
