CustomstoxBlackburn botto metal
Has anyone been able to get in contact with them lately?

Fish30114Chic, I have two rifle projects that the smith's tell me that Blackburn is the bottleneck on, and one friend that has the same issue as well. One smith has said that he contacted them about 3 weeks ago, so that's the last point of contact I am aware of, that particular smith says that they are simply,unbelievably busy.
Don't know if any of that helps, just some info I had.

BJBChic,
I talked to them about 3 weeks ago about some Mauser bottom metal. Will give you a call at the office in about 2 weeks.

Customstoxthanks for the responses. I am looking for some bottom (not botto) metal for a 1910 Mexican Mauser that I am using on a rifle for my daughter. I know Ted can be slow but he or someone normally answered the phone.
I will give them a try again tomorrow.

lb404I placed an order for 6 triggers and Maggie sent them out 8 months later. They were supposed to be in stock when I placed the order.

DanMChic,
Please let us know if you find out anything. I was planning on ordering from them today. Looks like my timing sucks.
Regards,
Dan

MasteriflemanI don't know if this will help anyone but it might be a viable alternative.

Jonathan TomlinsonWe have 2 Winchester magazine boxes on order promised weeks ago, with e-mails having gone unanswered, a recent phone call enquiring as to when we may expect them struck lucky, they indicated that they had been on vacation and were now (2 weeks ago) to commence fulfilling back orders

CustomstoxI just spoke to them today. They do not have my bottom metal but they do have some triggers.

HunterJimWith Chic's heads up I called and ordered a Mauser trigger yesterday. There should be four left if you need one.

CustomstoxOkay

I guess you want it and do not just want to know if they have one. My kids get real mad when I do that. 435 623 2074.
