I just got through Talking w/Ljutic

Mike with Ljutic said they are swamped Building new Guns and are in the design Phase of a new rib. And designing a New Ljutic.

The cost of cutting down my Picketts from Std at the rear to down as close as possible at the front of the Bbl has doubled, the time frame is 1 1/2 months to complete the job.

So what's the problem?

They're busy

When you do that the gun will only shoot 80% if that, if you are speaking about a flat rib Ljutic

 

Ljutic329: Mine is a mid rib, in the past It takes it to 15 to 18"in. Higher, on the ones I have had done previously, I am seriously thinking of doing it myself.

I have all the silver soldering Equip.

After Joe and Jimmy died, things slowed down, then the 3rd set of owners. A ljutic Trapgun is a simple Gun to build, The One Touch Ribs are being Sub-Letted. Mike quoted over $2,000 for the One Touch rib Installation. Back up is 1 1/2 months on rib mods.

I have been calling DeVault Industries and the phone is constantly ringing Busy for 5 days now.

Is Dennis's wife running the show now?


GB...............................DLS

 

Gary, I don't think doing it yourself is a good idea. You could, just for the summer, build it up with Moleskin (not Molefoam) and send it in next fall when you won't be shooting as much. I'm glad to hear they are busy.

N1H1

 

DeVault Industries has shutdown--Tracy is doing stock work on his own--Fuzzy is the source for Machone and Infinity parts/trigger work--got an an adjustable rib made for a 870 pump gun--last rib done by Dennis, just before he died

 

635G: Contact # for Tracy and Fuzzy please

GB........................DLS

 

PM me

 

Here is Tracy's #--it was put out on the other "forum" 330-309-8704

Again PM me for Fuzzy's #

 

By the way Tracy & Cindy are incommunicado--they no longer work together

 

What happened to the new GM that took over after DeVault died, though he had it all under control ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

The store is now a paint store--Tracy was running the show, everyone bailed after that--there is a gentleman, whom I will not mention is working on bring out the DeVault designed o/u-combo- hope he succeeds and gets the gun produced in my lifetime--the $75K I loaned Dennis towards building the gun, is gonzo--if Dennis was still alive things would have been different

Word of wise any mom & pop business should have a life insurance policy to insure the business survives

 

Seen this happen numerous times.
Once the key person exits, things often fall apart.
Hope things come together in the future.
