So around January I had given one of my rifles to pride and sigma to reshim and assemble back together. at this point with the exception of 2 body pins this was a working rifle. 6 months latter they dropped the gb and body at s9 however several parts were missing and the tight bore barrel that was with the gun had been swapped for a brass stock barrel. just wanted to see if anyone else has had a bad experience like this.
-
NO bad experiences with sigma, I do not know Pride, however the contacts I have had with sigma have been GREAT, a really cool guy...
-
Just so that there is no confusion. Jason had them drop off the part with us so that we could take a look at it.
Upon receiving the parts we let him know what was taken to us and he informed us that there should have been other things left with us.

up until this situation I never had a problem either. I've sold and bought many things from sigma.
-
What kind of tight bore had been in the gun vs the brass barrel that was/is now in the gun?
Did you try to work out the situation with them before or since making this public?
I've no personal experience working with nor talking to either of them, just trying to get more information.
-
nothing to special just a 650mm black python II. as for working out before writing this review, yes I have tried for months to get my gun back then when they swapped out parts I tried again only to be told they lost the parts and would not buy new parts. Chuck at s9 is going to be working on it this week so ill know if any of the internals have been swapped besides the barrel.
-
650mm? Isn't that PSG1 length?

Hmm... Well, things are starting to come together. I'm not going to take sides, but I know both Pride and Sigma, and they seem like honest guys. Never got a bad vibe off either.
People, I think we really should wait for things to unfold before casting judgement. Two sides to every story.
-
well chuck at s9 really should be the only person working on guns for people. he has the experience, and knowledge to fix guns for people and also improve them to peoples standards. He is an honest guy, and wont cheat anybody.

Sorry to say this thunderpunch but theirs more than one honest gun tech out there. You got Spazz and Thatguy,in which I personally have had my aeg's fixed by all three.
-
Thunderpunch, that's a bit insulting to the rest of the techs on this board. I've had guns worked on by Exarach (as have many people I know) and never had a problem. Tiedyeftw has worked on a friends gun and has been more than honest.
I'm not too sure how experienced Chuck is with gas guns, but I don't think he has the same level as Exarach with pistols nor TheUNIT or Katana0's expertise when it comes to GBBRs.
RD is dead on with Spazz. The man puts his heart and soul into excellent airsmithing.
-
I'd like to think all of us techs have there own special kind of guns to work on we all are still learning. Trust me we all help each other as techs and learn from each other.

i just wanted to hop on here and say a couple of things real quick:
lets not everybody jump on thunderpunch's back. she is just stating her opinion, everybody is allowed to have their own opinions. chuck is who thunderpunch has had the most tech dealings with and has obviously been very satisfied. and she didnt say he was the only honest tech out there, just that he was honest and had the experience to get the job done to what the customer needed.
everybody that is in the know, knows that there are many more techs in they valley that are very talented and just as honest as chuck.
as for the original topic:
those of us that know psc and have done work with psc, know that some times he can be hard to work with and doesnt like to spend alot of money and likes to work deals for tech work.
sometimes some guns take longer to work on then others, anyone that has had me do work for them knows that they arent allways going to get their stuff back quickly. and sometimes stuff gets put off for an easier/personal project at the moment.
if you are a tech and you take someones gun or parts in to work on and anything happens to said items while in your possesion you are responcable for it. if you lose or something happens to the customers property then it is your responcability to replace or otherwise make right what was wrong. from the time you take the ccustomers property till you return said property then that property is your responcibility to keep track of and return in the same if not better condition.

Thank u spaz and just to shed some light from my side, I originally got the gun quite awhile back. The job was resemble and tune. Well it has helical (I think that's how u spell it) gears that are a pain and I had not had much experience with them. Also note I was working a full time labor intensive job so at the end of the day I would crash. That is part of what took me so long to do it. So after a few months of on off work I was giveing up getting it done. I didn't know enough to get it to work right. At that point me, psc, and pride got to talking that pride would take over the internal work. Here is where things get complicated. Each time the gun would be put together we would send a text or whatever saying almost done or something along the lines of that. Than something would go wrong. Gears start to grind, brake a selector plate, wire get cut or damaged, or brake the pickup tooth off the position witch happened 3 times with a 120 spring and proper engagement. Now here is the massages we received or things we heard from unnamed sources. He was calling us out and saying he would call the police and claim it was stolen. After a few weeks we came to the agreement to just give the gearbox to s9 and bring all the other parts there asap. Well with complications of pride being in the hospital and deal in bigger issues than a toy gun, it too about another 1 to 2 weeks to return the other stuff. Now note I know I don't have the best memory so I returned all I thought was his. He said there where other things missing that I don't fully remember and I told him that I would try to find or replace lost items but know I am living off unemployment so I don't have much money to spend on thing and what I do spend is only what I have to. if any one reading this what's to question me or pride go ahead and pm us. This is of my side of the story and what I have experienced from all this.

Both sides have given their story, locking thread as there's nothing to be accomplished to leaving it open.
