  • Just say no…

    A little backstory with this one; this guy has been contacting me once or twice a year for the past three years with the same pitch. I guess he’s hoping to get me emotionally invested in hopes he’ll get cheap labor, quick delivery, and high quality. Lol…

    So here’s the pitch I get EVERY TIME. He has a unique name, so quick search says he’s a legit person and Greek which explains the grammar errors.




    “The truth Michael is that such a side by side can not be build without my supervision my knowledge and without my tooling!
    Is not A gun, s not A side by side (or someone's clunker) we are after...
    We are after THE... , THE....THE gun Michael, THE SIDE BY SIDE ... one that has no equal one that can not be beaten one that outshoots and outperforms anything there is a MAGIC one...
    This side by side will have 12" chambers.(it requires three (3) special one of a kind reamers just to cut its chambers)
    it will also incorporate my choke system chokes like no other ( have you seen the chokes that come with current side by side guns? (sad, very very sa...d one of mine weights more that the 4 or 5 that comes with their guns...a JOKE to say the least)
    it will also have no ribs, RIBLESS.
    Are you still with me Michael?
    it will also have no solder, none, anywhere no soft solder no silver solder , NONE, ZERO! It will look just like a side buy side (yes with a forearm, just like a side by side but no solder.
    FREE floating barrels...
    we will proof it at over SAAMI PROOF( we will go above , we will proof at 24,000 PSI)
    12 gauge ( in "name" only) 28" long barrels , 11 pounds (the donor gun is 11 pounds also)
    it will outshoot and outperform everything there is, no comparison, not even close!
    Are you interested of helping me build it?
    is..."CATCH US IF YOU CAN ,,,,speaks to you Michael ?”


    So I’m trying to decide between letting him down with a labor rate of $250/hr, signed letter relinquishing liability, and terms stating $100 per email after a certain amount and $250 per call…or a harsh hell no!

      I think it’s a Greek thing. I had a customer years ago who was an immigrant from Greece, became very successful in NYC installing and replacing glass on high rise buildings.

      Guy couldn’t go through a conversation without trying to pitch you something or going down a tirade about how great Greece is.

                Can’t burn your ribs if there ain’t any.

                        What exactly is he wanting from you? Hard to decipher.

                            Exactly. Bunch of vague BS like he thinks I’m going to run off and make millions off his dumb idea.

                              it doesn't matter how much you charge.

                              You're not going to get paid.
