    I admit to being critical and for expecting reasonably good work. I try to take most projects pretty seriously but appreciate not everyone shares that same intention. However there should have been no excuse for allowing that work to leave the shop. My bayonet wouldn't possibly fit onto that lug without corrective filing and by then any corrections to it would have caused the bayonet to be completely loose. In truth I expected he had the tooling that machined the parts to proper specs. Apparently that can not be the case. Even that being the case, proper hand filing could still have provided the correct fit and finish.

    Less than perfect products have to be expected sometimes especially these days. In this case I'm still in shock over the catastrophic results waiting over 16 weeks provided.
    Supposedly cancellation was approved refunding the M97 adapter order and I notified him the return of the M12, sent yesterday hoping he'll refund that amount also.

    As a comparison a SARCO repro example that was formerly sold on GUNSAMERICA is attached. The lug clearly appears more usable. Too bad they're nit available.
