Fuck these assholes. I ordered decapping pins based on a review I saw online.
Absolutely zero communication. It took a few weeks to arrive. The pins are supposed to be 0.200” in diameter. They arrived with a diameter of 0.215”.

No response to email. Voicemail is full. How the fuck do people run a business like this?

Contact Dillon.
They acquired FW Arms back in Feb.

It’s not true. I called them. They purchased some intellectual property, not the company.

Can a local machine shop turn the pins down 0.015?

What if someone made a mistake? Have you given them the chance to fix the issue to your satisfaction or have you simply gone straight to "Fuck these assholes?"

It’s going to be hard to give them a chance to fix their screw-up if they don’t monitor email and their answering machine.

I stand corrected. Thanks.

I would not lambast
a company publicly without a fair waiting period. That’s just bad manners.

I read it as the order was placed with no communication before the order arrived.

Understood, it seems I misunderstood the chain of events.

I was pleasantly surprised on a Friday night after placing a holster order on a website, I discovered I ordered the wrong holster configuration. I emailed the company hoping someone would see the email Monday morning. Someone emailed me back within the hour and it was evening AZ time.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

It may be easier to chuck them into a drill (assuming you don't have a lathe) and use some sandpaper to turn them down 15 thou. They don't need a pretty surface finish to do the job.
