well i guess it's time to air this out since i've given S&J over a month to iron out the problem i had with my forend with "Zero" results...
On January 9th i started emailing S&J telling them that of the 4 phillips head screws that hold the center section of the forend in place that 2 of them had sheared off and the other two would have sheared off if i hadn't noticed the other two were gone.......they seemed pretty apologetic to start with and told me that if i'd send it to one of their US representatives that they'd get me another in short order....they had me send it to Mark Mueller at EliteTacticaladvantage.com at an address in Wisconsin who i'm guessing is the original manufacuturer of the forend...i've been emailing Simon Beeson (also known as Badboybeeson) on a few of the shotgun forums one of the partners in S&J Hardware pleading for help and at first he said he'd get in touch with Mark Mueller and have him send out another by express mail...but now i'm not getting any response to my emails or a call or two that i've made to S&J's answering machine.....
i've also written using snailmail and left a message on Elite Tactical Advantages Website asking for help from them since i think they ended up with my forearm.......plus asked them to return it to me so maybe i can find someone to fix it for me.....
PS...when was last time you saw phillips head screws on a piece of tactical gear....i've owned gear from just about everybody over the years and can't recall ever seeing any on rails from Knight, Surefire, ect...i guess that should have been a sign.....
