      BZ and TF care about the guns. Send pics of compelted job BEFORE SHIP, send emails when it gets there of if any delays. Garage job > commercial.

              Schultz98: I would email Ted and ask him for a refund and send the whole marker to another anodizer 125customs or theannosmith. That will guarantee the color match and give you piece of mind knowing that it's in good hands.

              I understand how frustrated you are, it is well known that gruntbull did the exact thing to me. They were pretty quick to hand me back my refund so I don't think you have to dispute to paypal

              Things could be worst...

              You could be...

              waiting for the TAG Emag Board to be release
              waiting for the Logic Ripper EM to come
              waiting for RRFireblade to respond to your email
              waiting for BEO and Pblegion to work it out
              waiting for AGD to release anything
              waiting for A-Tach to sell his collection
              waiting for a Devilmag
              waiting for your G-Force part
              waiting for pie
              waiting for me to win a MoTM

              ..... you get the point

                He DID offer to re-do it for free.

                I mean, yes, it doesnt look like what you asked for, but matching anno is not an exact science. I would be curious to know if when you placed the order that you stressed that you wanted a majority of blue in the acid wash, versus black as it came out... Or if you just left it to their interpritation.

                -cAyle
                I basicly asked them to make it look close so the picture of the ego. I wasnt expecting it to look exactly like it, but you cant even see the blue without really getting close to it with like a light directly on the gun.

                Not sure what is going on with them, but taking your grievances with them public is probably the worst thing you can do right now and should only be a last resort IMO.

                Best of luck getting all of this sorted out.
                This is the last resort. I asked him very nicley at first to fix my gun and to do it in a timley fashion, then I sent an angry but non insulting email that I basicly demand he fix my gun and not make me wait 2 months again, then the angry and curse filled email and this. It really was the last stray really. he screwed me over from the minute he got it. Every time I aksed him what the status was he would say next week. and I didnt send him emails like every day, it would be once a week.

                  I went with thefool for my anno on my 1st Highlander Excal. He did an excellent job on it, and I would recommend him. He sent me pics before he shipped, and it came out exactly as I had desired.

                    very nice man, thank you to all of you for being so supportive aobut this. I am right now getting a few quotes so we will see what happens. At this point I dont even want my $ or gun redone. I just want to spread the word about GBA screwing people over. I am just gunna send my gun off to a better faster annodizer maybe even within the week and have them do it RIGHT this time. Again thanks everyone for being supportive and helpful it really means alot to me.

                        Well, I can be sure that I'll never use Gruntbull for my anno job.

                        I was going to say the same. GB was great when they first came out. What happened?

                          idk man I just dont get it. I went with them over 125 the first time cause I heard they were that good. now Ironicly 125 is gunna clean up their mess most likely. either that or Kohns cause he seemed pretty willing to help me out, he wanted to call me earlier to talk about it.

                            This seems to be a common trend with them lately, anyone know what happened? Too large of a backlog to keep up quality, or just enough of a backlog to not give a darn?

                              I think #2 seeing that he isnt going to do anything to fix it even though he knows I am going to do all in my power to ruin his reputation for taking bad care of his customers.
