Wood Rokstock Lite (added to UM rifle order on 3-11-2025) 62 weeks old today.

UM website still says a lead time of 20 weeks, Alpine rifles has a lead time of 6-8 months, both are highly inaccurate or
I just got dealt the short straw.

I think you’re supposed to add up those lead times:

20 weeks + 39 weeks (8 months) = 59 weeks

Pretty close

Holy shit. I would have certainly got my money back by now.

Ya I think I’m about at that point

Close but still inaccurate,

This might be the only hitch with that:

Must have planted the tree for the blank the day after you sent the non-refundable deposit.

Probably be ready any day now.

All purchases with a CC are backed by the CC company. That being said I’d find it hard to believe Mike or UM wouldn’t refund you. If you haven’t called for an updated status, I would do that first. If you get no response, then escalate.

100% agree - I’d call and go from there. The charge back period from your CC often has a shorter 90-120 day window though.

When is the last time you spoke with Mike? I think [mention]longrangelead [/mention] got overwhelmed with orders, but he’s been great about responding to me whenever I reach out. I’m waiting on one I ordered last July.

March 15th on here Via DM, and he said Mid-April based on finishing process. haven't reached out again.
At this point I don't feel like I should, UM should be giving me updates since I purchased it through them, and the last update from them was "We are directing customers to contact Mike directly for updates".

Well, if you are fed up, I can understand that. But I would be the squeaky wheel if I felt like I deserved better.

I’m not one to sit complacently for months and then get publicly angry.

I’d guess that @wnelson14 wouldn’t either if he had his stock by now or someone would let him know what’s going on.

Definitely not getting publicly angry as it's just a rifle/stock. More or less giving an update if someone is looking to order so they know what they are getting into and answering the questions asked on here.

I’m not criticizing him for being frustrated. I’m frustrated too. But if he’s not being the squeaky wheel with the men who have taken his money, that’s on him. And it is certainly poor customer service for UM to refer him to Mike. Mike is the only one who can make and sell wooden RokStoks per his agreement with UM. They should be in a better position to get what they want, when they want it, than the rest of us.

I was chill about it for the first six months or so, but since then I have set a monthly reminder on my calendar to ask Mike for an update. I don’t always ping him right on that date, but I do politely and persistently ask for an update. For me, it’s important not to volcano all over everyone. These are luxury items, but it is frustrating when projected delivery dates come and go.

squeaky wheel

I don’t think the wheels should have ever gotten squeaky to begin with.
Yours or @wnelson14.
Not when you’ve put down a non refundable deposit on $2k worth of grease.

What sort of updates have you been given?

On April 21, Mike told me he had mine roughed out and bedded and it should be in the batch he finishes after Mother’s Day. So, I am optimistic that it should be done soon. I’ll probably ping him again in a couple of days to see if he can bring it to the S2H course, instead of shipping it to me.
