The Track of the Wolf has a beautiful catalog and the $ 10.00 is well worth the price. I ordered a Lyman Great Plains Pistol along with the catalog and a cleaning accessory. The catalog and accessory arrived promptly, but I was confused as to where the pistol was. I contacted Track of the Wolf only to discover that the pistol would be drop shipped from the manufacturer, Lyman. They could not provide any details as to expected delivery date or tracking information. I checked back with them and was still not able to obtain any tracking information so I called Lyman myself and discovered that the order had not been entered at Lyman until about six days after my original order and that it would still not ship for three to four business days. I called Track of the Wolf and recommended that they develop a system to keep their customers better informed about their purchase. From date of order to delivery was approximately three weeks or fifteen business days.

Track of the Wolf's pricing seems to be competitive given the quality of their products, but I rate them down in the Customer Service area due to their complete and total lack of concern and information on the status of the order placed through them. Lyman was very helpful!

I have used Jedediah Starr for a number of things and have always had a good experience. In one case I ordered several Treso nipples in different sizes; when they arrived I found one set of 6 was the wrong size. The package was mismarked - it was marked as the size I ordered but the nipples were a different size. I called and suggested they might have other packages that were mismarked, and to ask if they'd send the correct size. I offered to send back the mismarked nipples, and he asked if I could use them. I said yes, and he said just to keep them and he'd send the proper size immediately. I ended up with 6 free Treso nipples

I have only used their internet catolog. Every thing I purchased I have recieved. I recieved an e-mail on those that were backordered. There was no early credit card charges. Their prices are usually good. Could probably ship cheaper using post office pre-sized boxes especially minis and roundballs. Overall a good buying experience.

Disclaimer - this is the only custom built I've ever ordered- for myself.
Many of my experiences are mirrored in the other reviews. Seems like a nice guy, but there are too many examples of gaps between his representations and reality to ignore.

I ordered my J. Brown Smoothbore in Fall 2004 and received it approximately 4 months later. It was inexpensive by the market standard of the time. The barrel seems fine. But the mounting of the metalwork was a bit sloppy. Mounting Pin holes were knocked in a bit, the lockplate was slightly uneven, the heel plate even lacked a cleanly filed edge on one side (it was left rough sawn). Browning was slightly uneven and the wood finish was much worse. Although the woodwork itself was competently done, the finish included drips, rubbed-off high spots, etc. I managed to clean-up most of the cosmetic issues. Mechanically there have been no problems for me yet, and it shoots well.

The presence of a few odd scratches, for instance beyond the lock screw, reminded me of something. In an Arthur Conan Doyle story, his detective deduces the failing condition of a subject by the condition of his very expensive, heirloom pocket watch. It is covered with odd scratches and suffers from other signs of neglect. He concludes that the owner had both suffered psychological problems, as well as financial hard times. As always, the deductive method prevailed in this work by Doyle. In the real world - Caveat Emptor !

I wanted a round hat with a cut-down brim as ordered during the Niagara campaign of 1759. The people at Clearwater worked very hard to get exactly the right look. I couldn't have been happier with the results.

Great place! They helped me get set up with my rifle and everything I needed for it. Very helpful and informative. Boy, I wish they were closer to Idaho!

i have used two pedersolis one that was purchased in the mid 70's and one purchased about a year ago. the locks were almost identical. i have fired both quite extenxively and found them both to be quite accurate at 60 yards. the newer model however have a much nice stock. the older versions have a nasty looking plastic clear coat on them. a great gun love them to death. have taken many deer down easily with my bess.

I have had one of these guns for several years I am on the third lock in fact. I have converted mine to flint and installed a double set trigger in it. I still hunt with it but use my TVM .40 for club shoots.

I've purchased several items from Ed and CJ and have always been very satisfied with my purchase. They're a pleasure to deal with - always a quick, meaningful response to your questions! mjw
