Has anyone ever been given the following excuse from MOD1 Sales when ordereing short triangle parts (XM607): "The guy who makes them's truck broke down on way from florida" "So we have to wait for him to get in and start making the handguards?"....... I seem to remember someone else here on the retro forum saying something about it a few months back? I have been waiting over three weeks for my order to ship, even though I asked that they ship without the guards....... |
 I have only ordered from them once, they were great, although the flash hider I wanted was out of stock and they called me up to ask me if I wanted to substitute the part, everything shipped quickly. |

I've dealt with Model 1 Sales on and off for about ten years now. I have always had good service from them. Very likely, they were telling you the truth about what happened (even though it sounds dumb), but they certainly should have done a better job with communication and offering you some compensation. Any company can have the occasional screw up. Sometimes it is best just to let it go. I know it sucks having to wait an excessively long time for something, but in this case I would give them one more chance if I were you. Just my .02. |
Who were we at war with in 1999? (Did I oversleep and miss a major war?) 
|
Air war in Kosovo maybe? I think that was in 99 but I cant remember for sure. I have only orderd from them once and I had my upper at my door in 2 or 3 days. Great service from them and they were very polite on the phone to me. The upper is one heck of a shooter too. |
Yep, it was like a week into the Kosovo thing. Funny thing was the feed ramps on the bbl needed to be enlarged to make the rifle function, the buttstock had a "harry" feel to it, and out of al the parts that I got in that kit I think the only ones I have left are the BCG, gas tube, A2 handguards, A2 receiver, and pistol grip.  Had to sell off the buttstock, bbl, FCG, etc.

Model 1 and M&A Parts. It's where CMT, RRA and other manufactures send their blems, or out of spec parts.
