Waiting list is now open, Round One.

Wednesday, February 17, 2010 Filed in: What's New!

Many people have written to me over the last year, lamenting that they "just missed" getting on the waiting list. The last time the list opened, there was a huge rush of reservations. The list filled very quickly, and since they were submitted on a first-come first-served basis those who got in a little late were left out in the cold.

This time I'm going to do something to level the playing field a bit.

I am opening up my waiting list for a limited number of entries. I'll take reservation requests until midnight Thursday, and sometime in the next couple of weeks I'll do the exact same thing again. This will hopefully give more people a chance at getting on the list. (Of course the second opening will be announced here on the blog, just like this one has been.)

If after both sessions have closed I've received more reservations than I can handle, I'll let my database program select - at random - those that go into the list.

I know this is a bit unusual, but it's the only way to give everyone a fair chance. I receive many more requests for work than I can accommodate, and while I'd love to do them all the reality is there are only so many hours in a day. (I have to eat and sleep sometime!)

Here's how to submit a reservation:

1) Send me an email with the subject line "Reservation request" - nothing more, and without the quotes of course.

2) In the body, include the following information:

Name
Email address
Daytime phone number
The gun you wish to send (one gun per reservation)
A rough idea of what you'd like done

Don't obsess over which gun to list - you can substitute models later if need be. Please, don't say "I just want you to look it over/check it out"; if you need that kind of service, it's best to visit your local gunsmith.

Understand that these reservations will be roughly two years from now. Just to be clear: that means I probably won't call for your gun until sometime in 2012. If you don't want to wait that long, please don't put in a reservation.

These requests will be used only to fill out the waiting list, and my database will automatically send confirmation emails when the list closes in a couple of weeks. The reservations will not get any kind of individual response, so please save any questions or dialogue for a separate email.

Thanks!
