Does anyone know what's going on with The Rifle Shoppe? I've been trying to contact them by telephone but have been having no luck.  ???

That's been the way it is for years and years.  They are awesome at identifying great originals and getting molds made.  Less stellar at communication.  Most will advise to keep trying to cont act them by multiple methods on multiple days, fax, email, and phone, be patient and only order things that are in stock now.  It isn't perfect but nobody else is rushing in to do a better job, so there you go.

Not the first time these complaints have been discussed here on the Forum. I needed a few thing for a British musket, recently, and went to the Shoppe website for information.The contact phone number is given there as are the hours that they are  in the shoppe. I phoned every day during those hours until someone answered the phone and helped me place an order. My needs occurred during the time that the tornados tore through that area last spring and they were still doing business despite that. Someone said that they do some of the shows, (Tulsa for example) and that may take up some of their business hours. My advice is to just keep trying; you will make contact, and the quality is very good.

Thanks everyone. I will keep trying. Several years ago I had problems getting stuff from them but then they really improved. I guess I just got lucky!

Be patient, call and leave a message they will get back with you. It may take a few weeks before they do but they have always returned my calls. I just recently got some lock parts from them.
