Things appear to be working out


Question

By the good grace of an upper power, I received my parts back from Paul yesterday.  Pics attached to confirm.  He included a sincere sounding note, gas port gauges, and a sticker.  This REALLY made me day!  Now the million dollar question, why am I the first to receive their parts?

 

I have made a pretty hard effort in getting my parts back.  I sent Paul boxes to ship my parts back on two occasions… once with a check for money to ship them and once with a prepaid label so he could just pack and ship them free to him.  I will note my check was NOT cashed, and the prepaid label was NOT used.  Paul finished my parts (they look AMAZING) and shipped them back to me on his own dime.  I believe Paul is a good guy deep down and really did hit some troubles that turned this situation bad for all of us.

 

I am local to the Salem/Portland area, so I filed a police report in Salem.  An officer was actually able to reach Paul via phone and spoke with him.  I don’t know what the phone number was, but it was not the (971) or (503) number posted on here.  At Paul’s request, the officer could not release the number to me.  Paul said he had had a rough year and was going through tough times.  He said my parts were about half done and would have them done in a about a week and a half.  That was about a month ago. 

 

A couple of weeks ago I actually went to the Molalla address that was posted on here and talked with a fellow who claimed to be Mark Pawloski but did not know of a Paul Pawloski.  I did that about a week and a half ago.  The man didn’t sound like Paul in the Youtube videos, but did sound like the voicemail greeting on the (971) number.

 

I make the note that I shipped my parts to Paul 6/25/13, so I am not near the front of the line.  I think Paul got scared that I was involving the authorities and was actively looking for him.  I am extremely happy to have my parts back but very perplexed why I got my parts before anyone else has (at least before anyone that posts on here).  Paul obviously can perform work now, and his note indicates he can finish the workload he has.

 

I am sorry to say I have had no contact with Paul since June of 2013, so I cannot offer any assistance to anyone trying to contact him.  With this, all I can say is Paul still has the parts.  It sure seems like he is a man of his word that he wants to make good on his promises.  The parts returned are mine.  I know this by the serial on the bolt and carrier but also because I custom profiled my hammer to function with my LRBHO.  After installing the internals, it test cycles and fires on snap caps. 

 

I believe Paul has everyone’s parts still and has the capability to finish them.  I think he was scared that I might get to him, so he finished my parts and got them to me.  I thank him gratefully for that, but plead him to make good with everyone else as soon as he can before he gets into any trouble.  Another note I will make it that I never bad mouthed Paul on the forums or left him any nasty messages.  All the voicemails, emails, and letters I sent were polite and professional.  That may have played to my advantage; acting threatening and childish usually doesn't get you anywhere in life anyhow.  If the bickering and name calling on here stops... maybe Paul will feel more obligated to help everyone else out.  Could be a combination of things, but it worked for me, I got my parts back from Paul. Finished.

I can say from experience that being a moderator is not easy. I did it in a forum that was a piece of cake compared to this one and it was still hard work. Being a moderator here and even semi-patient

I was 1st on the list I had the RSB, I'm happy to report I received my parts today as promised.

I have no dog in this fight except when Pauly cried for help, quite a few of us revealed more about ourselves than we normally would, even to a friend. We tried to give him the encouragement to battle his demons by letting him know he was not alone. Made fools out of us because we cared for a fellow human being. He had to be forced to give up the parts and he isn't even the one sending them back. Every one who sent parts must get them, no excuses and he should be held accountable for ALL MONIES RECEIVED. Even with restitution and I highly doubt that will happen, where I come from, he's still considered a thief. In my eyes, your eyes and most importantly in his eyes. He can never be trusted for what he has done. He betrayed a lot of good people and until all is totally remedied, it's still open season on his ass. He deserves whatever punishment he gets and more, but it doesn't sound like he'll suffer the way he has made others suffer. Perhaps I am being too harsh in my opinions, but I was a couple days away from sending both my bolts to him when he started his drunken rants. That is why my feeling are so strong about stealing. I lost four guns 21 years ago to a thief. I've replaced all but one and I'd still like five minutes alone with the perp. I'm hoping each one of you get all your parts back as well as your money. If I was religious I'd say bless you for having more patience than I.

Well said.

 

Anymore people have an opinion on the matter?

Well got my items #001 in the mail today. Bolt and carrier had been bead blasted and only the initial grind on the bottom rear of the carrier was started. Good to at least have them back. Now on to CC to get them finished and then back in the gun when ready. Not sure if I like many of you will ever get any money out of Pauly, but I hope and pray that everyone gets there parts back at some point. It has been a long 2 1/2 years and I haven't even looked at my saiga for over a year. Soon it will be time to go to the range with it.

 

All the best everyone,

 

Robert

Drove up and had a great visit with Shannon from Cobra's Custom and left my parts #001 in his very capable hands to get done like they should be. I saw and handled a lot of his work that he did on an assortment of weapons. Looking forward to getting his work done. He is getting busier as many are wanting him to finish what Pauly didn't.

We finally got our client's parts back after two years.  Nothing touched.  The only reason we got the parts back was because we contacted the AG and consumer fraud in Oregon.  Thankful for the Oregon DOJ.  Thankful that we got the parts back, still really angry and disappointed about the time, the money, and the lies.  We won't see the $200 for the parts and the shipping, nor the "pacifier presents" for the angry angry client.  Live and Learn.

Separating an individual from ones parts for eternity, taking their money and then just falling of the face of the earth should punishable by nuts being pounded flat.

 

However that won't happen, let's hope he'll never be able to swindle anyone again and has a cellmate named bend, over.

I dislike checking this thread knowing there are still so many that haven't gotten satisfaction over this. You might consider RandR Targets. They were still listing Saiga-12 stuff on their website as of a few minutes ago. Bolt carrier is showing $280.00 and although it is a good source, it still sucks having to replace it. I hope Pauly's heart softens and he decides to make things right the way he should have with the rest of you.

Unfortunately Paul has a self destroying personality, and all of us got dragged into the war he is waging on himself. Paul is not a good man. He is not a selfless, caring individual. He is a selfish, self centered, arrogant, loathing, wicked person. Thankfully, people can change, but until Paul changes this drama will continue.

 

Paul, face the consequences! Give these people back their parts even if you are mandated by law not to do so. Give it all, everything you are now, and this memory away, then recreate yourself as a better man. You will survive. This isn't life and death. Holding on to these parts for any reason at all is selfish. Man up, and take the fall...life isn't fair.

taking off my Mod colors for this one... Yeah, I DO.MLR.. I do...... you don't implicate uninvolved people with no shred of evidence of having involvement with CRIME, damaging their reputation and business in the process without expecting to reap a whirlwind of spite and hatred for it..? Did I try and help Pauly just like sobrenagade stated above, you bet! did I think he would end up doing the right thing? I did! of that I am guilty.. but!

FUCK YOU for saying I was too close to this shit to be trusted.. along with anyone else who wanted to play fuck-fuck conspiracy theory as to mine and the "forum's involvement" in this shit.. YOU, yourself, MLR along with other members such as Kanzaz and several others ran their mouths here and on other forums as to my personal involvement with these CRIMES (thank god for screen captures) painting me with the same brush ya painted pauly with.. Ya know how pissed ya are to have been cheated and lose time and things of value? yeah.. me too..  ever since you and others painted a bullseye on my back over this mess when I was trying to help. even offering my own BCG to folks until they got their parts back.. All I want is to seek justice for wrong done to me (just like you). But you can't earn trust back.. even if it was lost because of some conspiracy bullshit someone made up about you... just as you do and have wanted justice for your parts.I want justice for wrongdoing towards me.. Railroaded for being a volunteer.. Fuck the forum.. you made this shit personal. Be no different than me saying MLR and Kanzaz are involved with a kiddie porn ring.. Nothing to back it up, but I just KNOW it to be true and want to blame someone for some shit.... I hope someday y'all find yourselves nailed to a cross for shit you didn't do.. GFY... Do I sound pissed? You bet! that happens when you accuse an innocent man of CRIME...

 

and for the rest of y'all, I really do hope and pray y'all get your parts back.. and if I can help in any way, please contact me personally (via the juggernaut account)..

To all victims:
I posted a "Go Fund Me" topic in the General section of this forum.

Be sure to leave ideas, encouraging comments, for this fundraiser.

Note: I will not personally handle any donations if Makc allows this fundraiser to get up and going.

I'm just a fellow victim who got lucky, unlike some of you I think we can help to move on.

Good Luck everyone my account will be inactive now. Last I knew MLR the DOJ was trying to get peoples parts back to them so may not need to run a fund me page. Might want to hold off on that.

I think those you are telling to GFY are no longer really active here. Why you want to continue to use my name in this manner is beyond me even after we had our discussion. As far as I am concerned that whole incident and our misunderstanding is behind me and I have moved on, regardless of how you feel. I respected you from one Vet to another yet you continue to throw punches like this out there publicly without provocation?

 

As for me I am going to remain active after giving it some thought. Im already doing another S12 on my own so the info will come in handy which is posted all over this forum. Just remember this, We are the victims here who may never get any justice from this. I am glad some folks got parts back from the DOJ, hopefully that continues. Even then when parts are returned you are still a victim due to money being stolen directly from you. We are the victims here and should stay in contact until this is resolved or statute of limitations takes over. Sadly I think itll be the latter.
