First let me make something perfectly clear about this post...I AM NOT COMPLAINING OR PUTTING DOWN MELLON IN ANY WAY....because he clearly states on his website that if you are not prepaired to wait for parts than move on and don't buy from him., but for the life of me I cant figure out what takes so long.......how long does it take to put items in a box put the shipping label on it and ship it?.....is he working by himself?....I have been waiting for 3 weeks....his prices are amazing and he only charges $2 to ship but i still cant figure it out.....he must work alone and has to be swamped with orders......anyone here know him personally and his work ethic?

So he certainly does something right!! I have to admit, I have steered clear from ordering from him for the simple reason of his long lead times and not seeming to care about making that any better. If it works for him, so be it! I do commend him for being up front! I hold not bad feeling or reservations about the man or what he does. CW

CWI ordered some stuff from him just to see how long it takes And.... Did it come?Funny as that crossed my mind!!! He comes well recommended and does have good pricing. I figured maybe ill order something small not immediately needed just to see... Then said to my self why? CW
I'd bet the Airgun parts business is not his main source of livelihood.Unless he states the parts were in stock at the time of purchase, it's really nobody's business WHY it takes so long.My guess is he builds them on order ,which explains the delivery times.Instead of complaining, you should feel flattered a machinist of his caliber will even build them for you..
but for the life of me I cant figure out what takes so long.......how long does it take to put items in a box put the shipping label on it and ship it?....
