I'm sorry, but Tom has always been great source of information to me and someone who I can actually call/email/pm at a manufacturer and get answers. My involvement was to get information on how Oly case hardens without ruining a slide. Apparently there are different methods... who knew?.. I didn't.

For those that now hate Oly, please PM me if you are selling those guns cheap. I'd love to have them

+1 another that will never buy a Oly firearm. thats a shame i like to support family owned companies too.

on a different note.. if anyone is currently unemployed i heard there is a new director of sales position open. im sure that pays fairly well

Want to thank Tom aka "Rattler" for stopping in and setting it straight.

Funny how he didn't actually do this though... He didn't do anything but make himself look like an ass. I tried to make nice, even that didn't work. I am still however wanting to know how companies that do that get their colors. Sadly, he will not be the one who helps out on the subject.

You know, I sent an email before all of this even started (you can see that on the top of page two) and got no response. The only time anyone got back to anything, was Thomas getting all bent out of shape due to a miscommunication (reading comprehension skills) on his part. This could have gone a very different way, but, didn't.... This wasn't an attitude problem, people getting snippy like Hk does sometimes, but rather an employee being a complete dick because he was avidly trying to be a dick. Suprisingly I've still decided not to point this out to his superiors though. He should thank me..... and get grammar/spelling lessons.

Here is how it SHOULD have gone...

Oly: usually you would be correct in that most processes do created a brittle slide. However, our unique process of blahblahblah creates the desired coloration and visual effect without compromising the material or weapon quality.

Us: Cool!

^^ This ^^
Sounds like an over educated (grammar aside) sales exec, who forgot to turn off the "director" and turn on the "customer service," before talking down to a bunch of forum yahoos.

Personally I don't "hate' Olympic Arms but rather am put off doing business with them due to this interaction. It's a shame too I really like their pistol caliber uppers. I don't just find money laying around I work hard for it and prefer to spend it with companies that work equally hard to earn my business. Ego is a bitch sometimes.

congratulations--maybe call him and advise him the damage he's done and let us know how that goes.

and, those turds were pretty cheap to begin with, weren't they?

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

Won't get my business either.

[mevshooter]

I honestly had never really even heard of the company before this thread, but after reading it in its entirety, they have no chance of getting a single penny from me.

ha, way to go.
