This thread is not meant to be in any way negative, but I can't seem to get a hold of Greg or anybody at the shop and I've been trying for five days.

I know a few of you also have rifles & actions on order and was wondering when was the last time you had communications with Greg, or maybe Greg visits this site and he'll see this post and contact me. Thanks, jorge

I talked to Greg two days ago. I got ahold of him in the shop.

Well if you talk to him again, I'd appreciate if you ask him to contact me. Thanks, jorge

Did you guys ever get the rifles you ordered?

Nope, it was supposed to be delivered this month, but it's now scheduled for a June-July delivery. jorge

Was the year mentioned?

Jorge:

I spoke with Greg last Thursday and he gave me a detailed update on my projects. I understand from Greg that Dave is back working at the shop and that is good news....

Hope all is going well...

Best,

jjs

I wonder why he hasn't returned ANY of my phone calls or mails. IS he building an "N" action for you as well? if so, do you know if he's built them yet? Jim, if you do speak with him again, I'd appreciate you passing a message to him to call. Thanks, jorge

jorge, I think Howard also has two barreled actions being done, haven't heard from him on a date for completition though. Good luck

He's been trying to call in order to set up a visit. It appears he's having the same luck as me. Today, I'm calling every hour on the hour, maybe I'll get lucky. jorge

Well, I hope it works out for you guys as I know this was very special for Howard as he was having a matched pair built, one in right hand and one for his son in left hand.
Is Karl still involved?

Unfortunately Karl left the firm last year. He was one of the reasons I went with Hein. He was always very responsive to all my questions. jorge

Well boys, no answer & no emails or phone calls returned. Might have to ratchet up the DEFCON....jorge

I have zero regrets about getting my deposit back from Hein. The constant delays in delivery times WITHOUT BEING NOTIFIED UNLESS I INITIATED IT were simply unacceptable.
Jorge, I hope it all works out for you in the end.

Hey gents, I'm just keeping this updated in the hopes that Hein sees it, or one of you guys that were fortunate to have spoken with him recently can pass him the message. jorge

randy your grudge is showing.

any word yet jorge what was your last update? just wondering.

Crusher: I called today, three times, plus I resent the emails to this three (3) accounts and still no word. jorge

jorge,

Hope all works out for you and others who have deposits and projects with Hein. As I stated in the older Hein thread, I was close to going with Hein for a 338 Lapua project after exchanging emails and talking to Karl. You are right, Karl was great about communicating and responding to questions. When he left Hein and certain "issues" emerged I was glad that I didn't "invest" my dollars with Hein.

My best to Hein in their business but you HAVE to communicate with your customers AND produce the product in a timely manner!

Yesterday my phone rang and it was Hein calling. I established a connection but there was nobody on the other end. I hung up and promptly called back and it rang and went to voice mail.

You are right Mildot only they are actions only. Greg originally told me Feb delivery but then said he had some problems and would get them out next month. He stated they were 80% finished.

Still no word...jorge

dont let it worry U..but Ive seen that number used before somewhere; ...(all in good Fun!)

Well, I hope the Hein folks will soon resurface.

Gentlemen I had an email from Greg waiting for me this morning where he assured me my rifle would be ready by 1 July and he is also in the process of shipping five rifles & actions but he did not specify as to whom. I asked him for SPECIFICS on my project and I will post that as soon as I get it. jorge

I'm glad you heard something from him. Just a few mintues to send emails makes a big difference to the customers.

Good news jorge!

John

well, sort of good news anyway. Although the email acknowledged the 1 July completion, he did not respond (as of this morning) to my query regarding a progress report. I'm not in the "warm & fuzzy" range yet...jorge

I'll take the over.......

Sorry but you lost me. Still no contact...jorge

Jorge:

For most pro football games there is a number of points, say 40, that you can bet if the total number of points scored by both teams is going to be over or under 40. Sometimes people do the same for time or days, say when a baby is due. Pick a due date and then the under is anything sooner, and the over is past the due date. As I said, I'll take the over......this is all in jest, although I'm sure the humor is a bit strained from you viewpoint, and I certainly hope you get you gun on time this time. Good luck.

Oh I get it! Haven't used a bookie in years since I stopped watching professional sports. Just couldn't stand the people in the game today as a whole. Oh and still no response to phone calls or emails. jorge

Have you heard anymore from Hein Jorge?

Nope, not a friggin' word or email. jorge

I e-mailed Hein a little over a year ago regarding their singleshot action...still hadn` heard a darn thing

Maybe they are in an "undisclosed location" with Dick Cheney, or hiding in a cave with Osama??



Perhaps the best thing at this point is to get a photo of the missing Hein folks onto milk cartons and on the missing persons bulletin boards at Wal Marts.

No, I think they might have teamed up or at least taken lessons Blackburn. Have been unable to make contact since Aug.21.

when the truth comes out, Cheney will probably be sharing a cave with Osama, if he aint there already... do U think their fighting over the top bunk? (Osama would be able give him shootin' lessons too )
Sorry, this thread is about rifles,mostly Mystery rifles at that.

Gentlemen: I'll have an update tomorrow on my next attempt to contact Hein and I'll report back, but something tells me I won't be hunting anytime soon with my 450. jorge

Folks, Hein responded this afternoon. According to him, he has "all the parts" {sic} and he'll have the rifle roughly put together by 4/15. In the words of Ronald Reagan (God bless him) "Trust but Verify" so I've asked for pictures . Of course I'll post those when I get them...jorge
