And I gather there are also a small number of proud owners of Empire and WFH rifles.
Clients of such had made communications, however, rarely if ever did they receive anything truthful.

Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

kcstottYou guys forget this is Trax you're talking to. He will not directly answer any question posed to him. Nor will he take any good advice.
It took my five seconds to find the web sight and a little longer to find the contact info.
When you are selling action at $3500 and up I think you can pick and choose your customers. maybe they don't want to talk to you Trax

Clients of WFH were also easily able to find their website & contact info, however that didnt help their cause.
They were told many mistruths along the way. They ended up not getting the product they payed for and loosing their monies as well.

The issue here is not the customer, but the integrity of the business that accepted payment.
If one cant bring themselves to do the work they have been contracted to do,then one should just return the money they agreed to return.

Im learning that anything Stuart Satterlee says cant necessarily be relied apon as the truth.
So Im not really interest in being served me up another layer of BS.

Dear Trax:
Okay, I am confused.
You wish to know if Stuart Satterlee is still in business, but you obviously don't want to do business with him, based upon your quotation above.
My advice: Then don't do business with him.
Sincerely,
Chris Bemis

J.D.SteeleThe only 'business' I've seen Trax engage in has been to try to stir the pot by posting various UNfounded insinuations and snide innuendos. He's a troll, an internet troll, nothing else.
I'll bet that he'll refuse to post any clear and verifiable details of his own encounters with anyone, anyone at all. He'd much rather post murky misspelled semi-accusations or, fairly frequently, photos of fine professionally-built rifles he'd like us to think belong to him(!?!?).
He's posted lots of photos and made lots of semi-accusations but I for one have not seen him EVER tell the truth in any clear and unequivocal manner. As far as I can tell from his posts and his non-posts, he owns no rifles at all.
I've dealt with Satterlee in the past, with good results. Actually he delivered my purchase a little sooner than he initially promised, how often do you see a smith do THAT?
I'd like to meet Trax face-to-face sometime.....heck, I'd just like to see a single photo of him holding just one of 'his' fine customs!
Regards, Joe

I think you are suggesting--when you have a quality product, live up to delivery times, exceed expectations in general, etc...that it is possible to sell $3500 actions.
My estimation only, the market for 3,000+ actions is fairly small and reputation is critical for success....
Trax, do you have an order with Satterlee or just on a fishing expedition?

What a fool like you presumes is of no value or significance.
Stuart Satterlee is free to come on this forum to refute my statements.

I'll have a lot more confidence in a recommendation of someone who's actually received an action from Satterlee anytime in recent memory. MHC-TX has bent over backwards to accomodate Stuart's many delays. On the last Satterlee thread, they publicly agreed on a delivery date that has come and gone yet again. It seems the least we could do before sounding the "all's clear" call is see someone, anyone actually get the Satterlee action they paid for.
aint it funny how history seems to repeat itself....

JimKobe,
you really are a certified fool and calling yourself an ACGG member cant hide that fact.
22WRF is well know for defending poor business practice operators like WFH, Blackburn and Satterlee, who have a reputation for non-delivery and/or no refunds for undelivered work orders....so considering my statements concerning Satterlee, why would anyone with a sensible logical mind presume Trax to be 22WRF?
There are some fine intelligent folk in the ACGG, however I would not include you on that list.

I had a payed order,and patiently waited. Then,due to his inablity to fullfill that order in more than reasonable time, he then agreed to a full refund.
Now if someone does not fill an order as agreed - and does not refund as agreed-[over a more than reasonable extended period of time] and what ever they tell you along the way does not come to fruition/reveals itself to be untrue...
Its only natural to begin to suspect that they may no longer be operating a viable business.
as far as fishing goes, it so happens ive caught a couple of the usual AR jerkwater simpletons in kcstott,JD steele and Kobe.

kcSttot,
rather than spending your time posting nothing of any real value to the subject of the thread,
your probably better off spending more time in your jerkwater machineshop ensuring you dont end up with a repeatedly poor reputation like Satterlee.
Oh I nearly forgot, your not actually a gunsmith, dont have an FFL, and cannot receive a firearm in your shop for any work.

Never claimed to be a Gunsmith Dip Dunk. I'm far better then the average Gunsmith. I'm a Tool Maker
And as a matter of fact I can receive a firearm in my shop under certain limited conditions. But no I don't have an FFL and it's clearly stated on my site and it's also clearly stated that I don't pretend to be a Gunsmith.
Now as for My jerkwater machine shop. I may not own the best machines, I don't have new paint on my wizz bang HAAS machining center. Nor do I live in the best of neighborhoods. Each and every machine I own I earned with no ones help. No loan from Daddy. No second on my house. I paid for them in cash every one.
You know your buttons are too easy to find. You don't put up much of a fight. I make one little snide remark and you fly off the handle.
Man must be happy times at your place.

I really couldnt give a crap about you or your machine shop or who paid for it. Though its sounds like you feel like your a legend in your own lunchtime. If you feel insignificant and feel the need to tell the world how great you think you are, why no start a new thread?
So far your proving time and time again that you have nothing of value to contribute to the subject of this thread.
...not at all surprising, as its common for fools to persist in proving that they are just that.
