Sir, we have our online store as well as our retail storefront now. We are trying to get our retail store up to speed and increase capitol so we can hire a couple of people in. First I would like to address a couple of things that you posted that simply aren't true First being we aren't greedy. Do we want to make money, absolutely. I would love to be able to this full time and in order to do that, I need to make money. Shipping, you keep saying that you were being charged $9.25 for shipping. Had you checked your order you would see that your shipping was adjusted to $6. I can not speak for the other companies who list things for sale and don't have them in stock. For us, I try to let people know when things are not in stock or have an extended wait. At times we even pull things off the site that have extensive back orders. Eventually we want to have a depth of stock that will greatly reduce these issues. We leave most items up because we are expecting them to be a short back order and we want people to get the product. And yes we would prefer it be from us. People need to know what kind of products we carry and that they can get them. I try to update the inventory as often as I can and often I fall short. With product going through the internet and the shop it is hard to monitor the inventory hour to hour without expensive programs and equipment. Again, as we grow our goal is to eliminate these problems. If I do not list an item, I can not sell it then or when it comes off back order. I am glad you couldn't find it anywhere else only for the fact that it shows that we are trying to get product and take care of a part of the market that no one else does. Please bear with us, we are going through growing pains, an up and down economy, and trying everything we can to make this company bigger and better so that we may offer more product and better service. Normally we answer our emails within 1-2 business days. Sometimes this is hard to do with the work load that we have. We do try and we apologize for the delay in getting back to you. It is not the way we like to do business but unfortunately it is sometimes a reality. I hope that if you place an order with us again in the future that you do not have to deal with this. If not we are sorry we lost your business.

I am sorry we had a problem getting you your product in a timely manner. We are a very small company that is run by myself and my wife, As far as greed goes we haven't made much over a dollar doing this yet, We have been growing our business as fast as we can. I work a full time job and try to run my business at the same time with my wifes help. We try very hard to get and keep all items in stock but with operating capitol that wouldn't equal a bigger companies petty cash it is a bit more difficult to order large quantities. You couple this with difficulty you can run into with distributors and suppliers getting gear to you and it can at times take time, even considerable time. We don't like it any more than you do. As far as the flat rate shipping goes we always adjust for smaller packages regardless of posted policy. If you would have checked with us prior to popping off you would have seen this. It averages out on shipping for us we don't make much if anything on shipping. We are not a bigger company with a huge account with any shipper. There is no refund necessary because orders are not charged until they are shipped which you would have been informed of if you would have given us time to respond. Three of the five days it took us to respond are days we are closed which is clearly stated on the website. Again its my wife and I and a couple of freinds who help us out on occasion. My wife and I would love nothing more than to be in there full time helping you guys get the gear you need but I too have to feed my family and this as of yet isn't paying enough to do it. Drop me an Email, give me a call, or send smoke signals and I will cancel your order if that's what you would like. The CMM's should be in in the next few days. We have plenty of the the GG&G Kits in stock. Ron and Patti TSG Tacticalshotgunner.com

If you talking about the rail that Mesa has been working on I do believe they have put it on the back burner. I have heard rumors of another company working on them though here lately and Ive seen some pics of it and it looks real slick.

Unobtanium Thank you for the kind words it is much appreciated. After getting off the phone with you the last time I got to thinking about it and on an older M4 that belonged to a customer we had removed the Stock to install a collapsible on his shotgun and when we did we seperated all the hardware out of the butt stock at that time. I wonder if the Adhesive is something Benelli started adding in the recent past. As Duggan's experience may point to. Duggan If I may ask how old is your Benelli?

We do not have a web site up as of yet but hope to in the near future. You can email me directly at [email protected] I can take and process orders through my Email. I have all the Items listed in stock (depending on the amount of orders) and in the event I run out of stock can have the Items back in stock usually within 3-5 days. If you are in the Indianapolis Area we do have a complete line of Mesa products avialable at Albro Guns Inc here in Indy.

In the shop we are full retail. Here and at two other boards we sell at discounts to all members. Your pricing would be what is posted above as a member here.

6061-T6 is the material used for the shell carriers. As of yet I have not had any complaints from anyone concerning the Benelli shell carriers and rails or any other product from Mesa. A few months ago I sold four shell carriers to a local PD those guys stop by regular at the shop and have had nothing but praise for the Mesa products. Hope this helps if anyone has any other questions I will do my best to answer them. If I cant I know a couple guys who definatly can, [ 09-05-2006, 10:42 AM: Message edited by: Gungho1989 ]

I use the 8 rnd on my demo shotgun wich is a 1014 and I really dont notice any kind of balance issue with the shotgun. I have never had a problem with brushing the rounds as of yet either. Weight.. it does add a bit of wieght but nothing that I would consider detrimental. My M1014 handles very well for me with the 8 round in place, I dont shoot any kind of competition but as a fighting/defense type setup I feel that Mesa is definatly the top of the game. With the addition of the rail in the setup its really hard to beat. I realize I sell their product but the quality and usability of the product was really why I chose to carry their products.

We are a dealer of Mesa's outstanding products. I beleive we can offer some excellent discounts to the members here and provide the products needed for a group buy. Since there is interest and if it is acceptable to the forum moderators I can post pricing and a possible deadline for a group buy.

Add me to your list too M1014.
