Jack Schwartz partsforantiqueguns.com

Has anyone ordered or received parts from Jack Schwartz of partsforantiqueguns.com recently? Is he still in business?

6/9/2022 - I ordered a winchester 97 6 row heat shield, magazine plug, and stock swivel. Cost me $290, charged immediately.

6/10/2022 I got a notification from Jack Schwartz of the 16 week lead time, which was published on his site.

9/27/2022 I asked for an update. I got a quick response saying he was 3-4 weeks behind on shipping my parts. This is the last I have heard from Jack Schwartz.

11/24/2022 I asked again for an update (~8 weeks after he said it would take 3-4 weeks). No response.

I sent emails again on 12/8 and 12/18, and just sent my last one today. In 2 weeks I'll begin a fraud claim with my credit card company, unless I hear from him otherwise.

Last time I got anything was about three or four years back, a shroud like you're dealing with. I couldn't say now days.

I hope he is OK. Madcap got his a couple weeks after I ordered mine. In his thread he even got to return it, get a refund, and cancel his order of another one, so I wonder if something may have happened to him.

I haven't dealt with him but It's possible with all this COVID going around and just health problems in general, especially if he is an older gentleman. I hope he is okay and I hope you find something out soon. Seems like if something did happen like he fell ill or something, that he would have someone communicating on his behalf to let his customers know what's going on

Did you ever get your issue resolved?

Oh wow, what are you going to do? Is there any way you can get your money back from your credit card company? $290 is quite the chunk of change

Unfortunately I just searched and found that the gentleman has indeed passed away. The time frame of when he died on October 21st fits with your not getting a response during that time. His obituary mentions he was an antique gun parts dealer so I would imagine this has to be the same gentleman.Sorry for the bad news

That's sad. He had a good product line as well, hard to say if anything more will transpire there.

Given this new information, it will be a lot easier I think.

Just to close the loop on this. I tried one more time to call, just in case someone was handling his affairs. The number is now disconnected. The website is still up though, and still says taking orders. I did notice the note this time at the bottom that his daughter designed the web site.

I didn't know him, but I will express my condolences nonetheless. Having made a few Krag handgaurds from scratch myself, I appreciate his skill and service - well by that I mean I screwed it up twice before I found his website. He promptly responded to my inquiry that he was he was not making handguards anymore, and no he could not sell clips and rivets for me to do it myself. I succeeded on my 3rd attempt to make my own, clips rivets and all.

My credit card company is taking care of it. However, they said that since the transaction was further back than 3 billing cycles, I would have to dispute the transaction in writing through snail mail and it might take up to 30 days to resolve, but told me not to worry as things like this are actually pretty normal.

For all the veterans or family members of veterans - USAA and/or Navy Federal customer service has no match - anywhere.

Has anyone had contact from Parts for Antique Guns? I know Jack passed, but the website is still active and there's no mention of his passing, potential delays or refund. My orders went I'm months ago and are well past getting a refund from the cc company.

I doubt it. The phone number is disconnected. No one ever responded to my snail mail, or emails.
I got notification this week of a credit in full to my credit card from the charge I disputed. Hopefully your credit card company is as good as mine.

I should think a credit company would at least consider that for a situation like this. Otherwise I would suspect you'd have to appeal to the estate.

I'm sure they (CC company) will try to get their money back somehow.

Yes, I imagine it will be the credit card companies that will file the dispute with his estate. At least that's how it should go they should do the leg work for the customers instead of the customers having to do it since it was their (The credit card company)card that was used. Hopefully they will credit reddcar as well, just might be slow

Credit card companies are very slow to return your monies to you but if you owe them money then they are lightspeed at getting back into their coffers from you, that's how the cookie crumbles johnd?

Anyone have any luck recouping funds or getting in contact with his family members. Daughter, granddaughter, grandson? There are a lot of people out a lot of money.

I recouped a full refund from my credit card company. Was unable to get in contact with anyone.

I have Capitol One and they were very easy to get credit for charges. I took a chance last fall on a square end British machete that they claimed they had 100 of and wanted $79 for them. Too good to be true I figured but with my credit card company I figured I'd give it a shot. Three months went by with no communication and no machete. I finally contacted my credit card company and told them about it and got a credit within a week or so. I did have to file out some paperwork but nothing major. I did finally get a response from the seller claiming the sent it UPS within a two weeks of my placing the order but I am notified by UPS of all movements of my packages and never received any notification from them.

Yep the usual fob off "we sent it", but as you say Steve no notifications had similar happen to me and when you question them its the same old same old.
