I bought his trigger group and upper years ago:

I absolutely love my rifle, it shoots sub MOA all day with match ammo. Recoil is a push, not a snap. Very tolerable; like shooting a 12 gauge slug.

He let me pick his brain to pieces years ago, least I can do is pass on his offer. Dave is a real straight shooter and a pleasure to deal with.

On 3/29/2016 paid $1500. down to have a Ferret50 built by this company. Delivery date was supposed to be July/August 2016. No gun. Four more date given as delivery dates, still no gun. Drove to FL from WV in November 2016, visited gun shop and was told I would have my gun before Christmas. In Feb. 2017, company admitted they has no barrels to build guns with. We have requested a full refund three times. Now our phone calls are ignored. If you take money for something and never deliver, customer should be refunded, this is fraudulent activity.

That drive down to Florida was a complete waste of time and money. You should of asked for a refund when you were in person. Small claims court is probably your last option if they are in business.

I actually did email. Told him that scamming people is disgraceful, and trying to get free advertising, by coaxing people to give FAKE good reviews about the products for a rifle that will NEVER COME, is just as bad! Here was his reply:

"David,

Im not scamming anyone. This has become a complicated matter with the customer and its a long story. As far as production, we are simply behind on my schedule. All customers WILL get their orders. Always have, always will.

Now, you have come at me with both barrels WITHOUT asking any questions. You do realize there are two sides to a story, don't you?

Thank you,
David Moore"

All that I'll say is for shame on all of you who gave this scam artist a fake good review, on a product that you have NO knowledge of! They are not going to give anyone a free rifle. He's not the first one who has done this to gain more customers-customers who will go into giving up $1500 or more with a false sense of security.

Me and my friend both own Ferret's and we never had a problem with David or his service. When I had a super comp barrel put on and a problem developed. David told me to send it back and he replaced the receiver, the complete bolt and repainted the upper at no charge. We both won a few trophies and matches. We never had any problems David.

But it may well be a "that was then, this is now" situation.... businesses change, people change.... the big thing is the customer had enough runaround and asked for a refund - the answer should have been a simple and immediate, 'Yes, OK.' and an apology - then we wouldn't be here now.
