10 days from now it will have been 7! The only question now is, which will come first; my .50, or the release of the MG34, MG42, and Stg44?

I would be asking for my money back. It's not fair and quite honestly poor buisness practice. are you even getting a response to email?

are you even getting a response to email? I last heard from him in November. Sad thing is, I already have. I'm waiting for a reply to that and two previous e-mails. I wholeheartedly agree.

Sounds like a knock on the door(with a smile) type of thing if you ask me.
So would you guys put him on the list of "do not purchase from this guy" or give it another seven months?

that guy lives like 20 minutes away from us, and everybody here in the sac area have had horrible experiences with him..Doesnt reply to emails, doesnt answer phones.... Wish I knew that when I bought it. Several people claimed he was a legit seller. Maybe he once was, who knows? But he sure the hell doesn't seem to be too legit right now! Does he answer knocks on the door? (Maybe that was the cause of his getting "gimp'd up in an accident") He should get his act together before he has to change his name to sell potatoes at the farmer's market. EDIT: Okay, I was just on Air-Sharp's website and now he's selling grille inserts and air scoops for Chevy trucks?!? WTF?! I'm calling shenanigans! This whole "be patient, I'm working on it" line is a bunch of bullapplesauce ! I'm sending him one final e-mail, and if I don't hear back from him within a specified time, I'm putting his name and my experience with him on every airsoft and reenacting forum I can find.(no appropriate emoticon exists)

So he never answered the emails you sent asking for your money back?

No. He hasn't answered anything since November. (and that was probably a mass e-mail to all his dissatisfied customers, as nothing in the text referred to me specifically, it could apply to anyone.) In his last e-mail, he stated "No one has ever been forgotten here." No, he didn't forget me. He just took my money, didn't send me anything for it, and now ignores me. But he remembers me, so that's a consolation, huh?

I am in the same situatiuon as shadycadence... I have sent him 3 emails and 1 PM at airsoftpacific forums, which he has read, and not reply at all after November...
I will post any news regarding this issue, but I do not have any good feeling....

I'd say at this point it's time to get the local law enforcement involved. Report him for Theft or Mail Fraud. Shady, you're a far more patient soul than I. I would have been contacting the authorities after 90 days.

Problem is, Who is the local authority? Would I report it to the authorities here, or in California? Or both? Since I don't know specifically where he is in California, finding the local authorities there could be tricky. I will be contacting his website provider informing them of his sketchy business practices. Do I throw him to the wolves, or throw wolves to him? Hey, migmadmavis, what city does he live in?

Whatever happened with this deal. Did you ever get your 50 Cal Shady? Elder did you ever get your patterns? Based on the production photos he had a huge assembly line going out of his shop so if folks never got their orders he burned a lot of folks. I thought he ultimately got everyone caught up and decided to get out of the business.

Yes, I did finally get my .50. Had to rework it a bit, but it finally works good. I put it on my '83 Toyota.

I have a copy of those patterns..they print out on 8.5x11 and just spray glue to your substrate and you cut it out. I'd have to find it out in the garage..just saying....
