Color case hardening

Agreed. Lets start a count of how many here will not buy from them anymore.

1 here.

Spyder,

Based on the title of Sales Dir., I'll go out on a limb and say you never got technical answers about how their process works because he has no clue how it's done, he's just trying to protect their precious name.

And you in no way insinuated anything about their products, you were speaking about the process that you used. If he bothered to read the thread from the beginning, he'd see that.

his behavior reminds me of the saying:
“Samson killed 1,000 Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. Every day 1,000 sales are killed with the same instrument.”

I would forward on to a higher up and invite them on the forum. I don't think you did anything wrong Spyder....

Count me in for avoiding oly arms from now on. Now my list has grown to two.

Ditto! Seriously, at first I was like "Damn, that 1911 looks great! I want one" and now I'm like... "HUH? Wow, this guy talks from HIS experience with the process which is completely different from Olympic Arms and he is being 'dogmatic' and 'bad-mouthing' the company??? No, I believe Tom did that all by himself." I think I'll just stick with Colt, Springfield, Kimber, Glock, S&W and Sig Saur for my pistol needs... And a few others. But due to one employee I'm thinking I'm never going to purchase anything from Olympic. Bravo Tom, Bravo! Way to misread a situation and be a huge dick about it!

ETA: Spyder, in regards to your ORIGINAL post- Well done, that looks fan-effing-tastic and I would love to one day employ your services... well when I get a weapon you could do that to! [Beer]

Think he could take time away from vehemently protecting them from an imagined slight and insulting customers to see if he can help get the backorders out? I finally cancelled an Oly upper I've had on order for months and based on this exchange will look elsewhere. In my opinion he completely misunderstood the thread and and blatantly ignored the "out" you gave him. Half expected a Gilda Radner-esque "Never mind". [Tooth]

I have not had any problems with Adams Arms, just hoping to clear up your post.

I will correct!

Guess I won't be buying that 10mm upper from them now.. Wow is all I can say.

I have to say my favorite part was the grammar lesson you gave him at the end of your email....still laughing[ROFL1]

I hope this spreads to other boards. That rep is a grade A d-bag. Wow.

Arfcom already doesn't approve of Oly arms soooo.
