Forum rules
Posting of negative comments in the Gunshop section could bring unwanted criticism on the forum, having said that it is important to let members know if dealings with a Gunshop were less than ideal for you. To that end we will allow what will be known as the 'Scotsgun Ruling'

The Scotsgun Ruling:

>Add Gun Shop here<

"As I've yet to have a 'positive' experience there, I'll refrain from commenting further."

Beyond that please take it up with the Gunshop, if you do resolve the issue in a agreeable manner let us know!

This rule applies to the entire forum.

Rang them last Wednesday after being recommended to them by a fellow shooter.

Very helpful on the phone, went and checked stock and placed the order online.

Goods were not shipped until Friday so got them this morning. Not a great first order, the Lee .223 Pacesetter die set they sent is used ****

Die threads have cr@p in them, no instructions in box, full length die has what looks like Imperial Wax on the threads, tool marks on the mandrel lock nut and has the mandrel set far too low.

On opening the die I find the mandrel covered in cr@p.

Tried ringing but got no answer so have emailed to ask what the hell they are playing at.

Got a reply, they reckon it came from their supplier like that, they've been trying to contact Henry Kranks to get a replacement but I know Kranks haven't got any as a lot of their Lee order didn't arrive last week.

They've managed to get a set made up by Hannams (who didn't supply the used ones) and they are are sending them out today.
