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.

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

Hey guys... Paul here.

Just a heads up, I'm on mod preview, so I'll make it short and sweet.

 

Parts are shipping.

I'm currently just knocking out basic GlassBolts because I'm working in the most archaic environment possible, with just basic tools.

Yeah, talk about Shadetree Gunsmithing, lol...

 

attachicon.gifGlassBolt Manufacturing.jpg

 

 

I just recently figured out how to do an IceRack without a bead blaster, so those are coming too.

Next, I'll be making a $250.00 extension cord to weld with.

In between, i need to build the shed that goes on the platform pictured for the guy letting me do work on his property. (In exchange for letting me use his property, I wired his house with 220V, I'm building him a shop, and hooking him up with a bunch of tools I'll no longer need)

The business is now CLOSED, but everything will be shipping, with the work completed.

 

I'm sorry I haven't been in contact, but the reason is very basic.

Everybody had the same questions, and all I could have answered was one single word... "Bankruptcy".

If I'd done that & shipped 40 incomplete sets back, then I really WOULD have ripped everybody off.

I'm not going to do that.

I really am sorry for the inconvenience, but a few years from now, I'd rather be that bastard that took over a year to complete parts, and have them still be treated with the best, most consistent & detailed workmanship this platform has ever seen, then be that scuzzball who scammed everybody out of money.

 

Much has changed with my process, but the vast majority of everything I ship will still be the same, sans the bead blasted finish.

 

That's really all I can say.

I'm contacting people when their parts are done to confirm their address hasn't changed before I ship, but cannot estimate how long this or that individule piece will take.

Right now, 593, 928, 068, 623, 080, & 500 are about to ship this week.

 

That's all I can say. My organizational structure was completely abolished when the shop closed and everything went into storage.

I'm just grabbing as much shit as I can complete, and working it all through the processes on my off time from welding ships together...

That said, those who have welding work to be done, can rest assured that they are getting the ONLY work done that's performed by a 2-g, 3-g, 4-g & 6-g certified weldor, who routinely & professionally delivers ex-ray inspected perfect welds.

 

Once again, I do apologize for lacks of communication, and I do realize I've caused some hardship with my absence. But there IS a game plan, and everybody WILL be stoked on what they get.

 

Peace and Grace;

Paul Pawlowski

 

 

Thank you Paul. Just checking in on this makes me feel better, I think this whole "thing" would calm down if you can keep us posted maybe once a week ...I look forward to seeing order #134.

Thanks again, Brian

 BTW my address is still the same.

 I have no dog in this fight. But it is good to see progress here.

 

  The true measure of a man cannot be taken in times when all is well. It is in times of adversity that a man's TRUE character can be judged.

A GOOD man will overcome adversity and make good on his word, by fulfilling his obligations. Those of dubious character just walk away.

 

 The lack of communication here is regrettable, but we have no knowledge of the nature of the adversity, so I will not make a judgement until we see how this plays out.

 

 Hopefully all will be give that to which they are due.

Hey man you got a hole in your face... even though your trying let me keep poking so you know its there...  Stop the slapping before the thread closes....  He could have just walked away from all of this but he hasn't.

 

Any one who doesnt have parts that havent been returned really needs to stop talking any way.

 

Thanks for posting Pauly.

 

Please PM (AA - Re CRVD or anyone else) if you have a problem with my statements we dont need to publically argue.... Leave this area for the people with parts still out and progress reporting.

The problem is Pauly has said and done this before. This is not the first time he has supposedly tried to make things right. I can pretty much guess how this one is going to end, here Ill give it a shot.

 

Since he is relying on someone else to get the work done, someones yard, power, hand tools, then relying on someone else to do the welding for him, its an excuse in the making for when shit doesn't get done again.....Heres how its probably going to pan out:  The person who was letting him use his land, power, possibly tools got mad for whatever reason, possibly Paul couldn't finish the shed or it wasn't right,  Pissing match ensues, Paul looses his cool then his work area, the welder cant continue the work, for whatever reason, jus pick one. Pauly gets depressed...again.....goes on hiatus, blames alcoholism and others for not doing any work on any parts. Then he will be gone for good probably since he has stated the business is closed. As if he really had to say that cause at this point NO ONE in their right mind would send him shit. If they do, they deserve exactly what they get. Caveat Emptor I recall being said somewhere in here.

 

Why do I say this you ask???

 

 

Ill be blunt.....He cant finish OUR work, which has been paid for IN FULL.......YET he has an agreement to finish a shed for someone in return for working in the guys yard?????? Who doesnt see whats wrong with this picture?  The bullshit excuses are laughable at this point. Cant wait to see this train derail, sadly I dont think ill be able to laugh. I dont think the guy is going to wait 2 years for his shed to be built.

No slapping intended, just trying to help keep the record straight, as some folks seem to have short memories. I guess it's OK to come in here and blow sunshine up peoples asses that paul is doing such a great thing, but don't dare tell the truth post-13516-0-06778000-1412020955.gif

#623 Not yet, I'm not getting my hopes up too much here. What was supposed to be shipped within the week with contact before shipping has gone to no contact in a couple weeks. Just ready to see them again. Will be 2 years in January. So if you are reading this pauly, I'm still in the same place, no change in address from when I sent it.

21 month anniversary is fast approaching!   Wonder if Paul is using us as an excuse to not get the guys shed built yet. How long will the wait be this time before he sobers up long enough to type a response on here? Possible my prediction came true quicker than I thought....hope not but wouldn't surprise me

 

I asked Juggs for the Work shop status list that was posted here a while back before all the topics got moved/deleted/locked. I think that would be a huge benefit to this whole debacle. Still waiting on an answer from him after 2 emails.  If I get it ill post it asap,

Not a peep, looks like Juggs might be ignoring me too so I dunno.

Implying some type on involvement on my end AGAIN?? Seriously, Go fuck yourself....

 

This shit has got NOTHING to do with me... I'm gonna "see" my way out of it...

 

I'll ask this nicely ONE LAST TIME.. do not invoke my name with this thread, topic or issue.

 

I have had bullseyes painted on my back on this topic from the get go and I ain't puttin' up with that shit for one more second..

You can contact MAKC or any other Mod to assist.

 

I have been tared and feathered over this without warrant or provocation let alone a shred of evidence based in reality...

 

I do not appreciate it...

 

Don't stab a man's back and expect his help....

First of all I did not imply anything. So go learn to read asshole.

I asked you for a list that I copied from Pauls original list from a post that was moved. I sent more than one email asking.

No one so far is saying anything about you being involved, so save us the fucking drama Juggs.

 

You read my email asking for the info, yes that shows. So I sent some more, yet you dont answer.

A simple request At that! A yes or no would have sufficed.

 

If you cant handle someone asking for something so small, without acting like a little bitch then maybe you should quit,

Matter of fact. I have the entire survey results plus extra information. IF YOU have shit with Paul, and are ready to take this list to your local authorities or whatever you have plan, Ill gladly send it to you. This is the nail in the coffin for Paul. Just ask me and Ill email it to you. I am already planning to and if this pops up in more than one state the ATF can get involved much much easier since it also becomes interstate fraud.

 

 

Let me know

I need to publicly apologize to Juggs. I did not realize what he was going through. He was in fact not ignoring me, just dealing with more important issues. Had I found my self in the same shoes I would of done no different.

 

My apologies Juggs for being an ass and coming across the wrong way.

Thank You Juggs!!

 

This list should help us, some of these have been finished and sent home to thier owners, and not necessarily in order. The survey results I have as well reflect alot of these numbers. This list is ORIGINALLY from Pauls original post.

 

I am #170 sent Jan 16, 2013

 

I saved this just a couple of days before the threads were all taken down. Lets update this list and help out as best as we can. This is the latest list, that I know of as the time I copied it which was roughly 5 days ago.

 

If you get your parts, please post here so we can help each other and Pauly out. I take no credit for this list other than copying it from Paulys original thread.
