So if you were having a kit built by a custom builder - say ORF, Inrange or someone with a similar reputation on this board, what would you expect to get for your hard earned $$?
Would you expect a durable finish? Say one that did not arrive with places/areas of the KG gun coat flaking off from 'test firing'?
Would you expect the FS to be aligned/suficiently(sp) straight so as to be able to hit an IDPA target at 20 yards? Is a weapon that hits 8 inchs low and 12 left from the builder acceptable in your eyes?
I recently received a build from a well known builder that posts often on this board. I have yet to hear/read a complaint. In fact the transaction, quoted ship times, pics, etc all went great. However, I am very disappointed in the final product.
In builder X's defense, I have not been able to get ahold of him yet so I dont know how/what he's going to do to make it right but I'm fairly pissed with what I have ended up with. When you spend more than the cost of 2 SARs, 40 mags and 1K of ammo for a rifle, I dont think its unreasonable to expect it to shoot close to point of impact and have the finish last past test firing.
I just want to know if this what any of you that have had kit builds done have found to be the norm.
