Black art rifle. Terry

[Jefferson]

knew him for the last dozen or more years from the Kamloops and Calgary gun shows

called and emailed him without a response

others that I have spoken to have said things that concern me,

anyone heard from him lately? wanted to buy a couple of guns back

fear the worst hope for the best

anyone know more than I

this concerns me if what I am hearing is correct

thoughts please

Terry was ill for a time but seemed to be on the mend in the fall.
He added a Krieger barrel to my 243 and did a wonderful job in the fall. Thing shots like a dream.
Jerry from Mystic Precision may have more current information.
Hoping he is well also.

Just got a pm, looks like terry MIGHT BE winding his business down by years end

If this is true perhaps terry or someone on his behalf could get his authority to post here

the reason I ask is there are many folks who might not want to send him stuff if he is ill

or other horror stories, and out of respect for the terry I once knew there are a few of us that could help him through this time

I know of OTHER EXAMPLES where stuff goes missing and some FRIENDS helped themselves to STUFF

there is a guy who sells a bunch at gun shows I also trust but cannot remember his name and will look for his card

NOT WANTING TO START A PANIC but terry would never NOT call me back as I helped him out a few times

Again not wishing to snowball things just looking for an ordering winding down

more than one person has contacted me with bounced emails and the like

this is not the terry I knew and wish to help so guys don’t get burned and terry can enjoy the work he wants to finish
without being hounded as to where is my gun, and just send the darn thing back

best wishes for his continued health

I had Terry do my first build a couple years ago it turned out top notch the quality and accuracy was excellent. Last October I sent him another Tikka to build (HWP Barrel/Reamer) for my 204 Ruger - hopefully I either get it built or it is sent back to me.

I know Terry mentioned some issues in my communication with him. Having gone through similar circumstances I haven’t pestered him too much.

He has a couple of barreled actions of mine being worked on. When I have emailed he has responded, but knowing his situation I don’t contact him often. I understand he does great work, and hopefully he is on the mend. If outside influences force someone to make a choice on work life balance, home and family always wins.

I hope he is doing okay.
