Still in business? Website there but does not look current.
I contacted him last year about making me some caps for my 1903a-faux. He responded to my questions for a couple emails, but when I went to actually order he stopped responding.
I had the same thing. Wanted to order a few scope lense caps, spoke about the detail & leather colour etc, then stopped responding.
I just presumed he was having some issues, as we all do, from time to time so left it with him.
Hope he's still in business as its a good resource for these missing or worn out accessories for our classic rifles
Not looking like the website hasn't been touched for over a year as still showing the photobucket logos after the hassle with all the accounts, so I'm inclined to think he's no longer in business.........although, you would think if so, the website would be updated to say so?
Shame if so, as I was also going to be in the market for a set of scope lens caps and a sling soon.
I had some dealings with him regarding a shotgun probably six or seven years ago, and came to the conclusion that his communication skills were somewhat lacking.
Sounds like nothing has changed.
I hope all is well: https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=59125
Jon made superb scope cap covers for my 1903A4.
I do hope he hasn't packed up...
Jon has done some awesome work for me over the years. He certainly has the knowledge and skill. Know folks get busy with our ventures from time to time. Like him to do some more work for me. What is the most recent contact anybody has had with him?
Would not go near that thief. He corresponded with me and took my money for several items in one order. I have never received the goods or seen my money back. Chased and chased the maggot and I’ve just been blanked.
I exchanged emails with him back in 2015/2016, his communication was excellent, up to me sending off the item I requested to be repaired. Then nothing! I called him on his mobile, send a number of emails, still nothing.
In the end got in contact with the horse riding group, who put me in contact with an excellent person. Never did hear from mr Moore after that, I assumed he had been taken I’ll or had passed on!
I was warned off sometime back that it wasn't safe to part with any money with the aforementioned person. There are others on here who so far haven't commentated that I know have had ideas stolen from them as well.Quote:

Jon used to be a regular fixture at the Trafalgar and other fairs but not heard of him showing for some time.
His work is par excellent and there always was a time lag in getting items, but usually worth it.
I know he had some personal issues a few years ago and I thought he had those cleared up.
A very knowledgeable fellow and again his work was above reproach.
I never had any issues with Jon on anything other than I think he took on way more work than he or 10 men were capable of doing in the time frame promised.
I had a nightmare dealing with this.... chap a few years ago, all done through eBay, at the time. It was over a few sets of No15 chest handles. All good a first, took my order, took my money, then it went ALL bad after that! Now I know we cut fellows all the slack in the world as they’re often a one man band with lots going on, problems personal and private etc. etc. I totally understand that, but this guy! After months and months of me politely trying to get some communication going with him I got nothing! Then I managed to reverse my payment to him after about 4 or 5 months.... well £&!? me he got in contact bloody quick then I can tell you. Then he writes a ton of trash talk about me on his eBay advert.... proper clown. Anyway I sourced my own leather and made them myself 👌
He's still a regular on the "ukvarminting dot com" forum - he was on there as recently as yesterday.Quote:

Just had a look, and he hasn't posted on Full-Bore forum since 24th April 2017.Quote:
