I researched this person, saw the backstory, a lot of positive feedback, have seen them post before, so I emailed about the latest crop of Feinwerkbaus listed. Crickets. They were relisted or bumped to the top, so I emailed again. Again, crickets. Now a few days later I see they’re sold or SPF. Kinda bummed, but hopefully something else comes along. Curious if anyone has gotten through successfully before? I only have one email account I use, so if it gets spam filtered I’m SOL. Maybe they only respond to emails in the order received and I wasn’t first in line? Or maybe English isn’t their first language and my questions didn’t make sense? Just wondering if there’s a secret code word or something I missed out on lol!

I have done quite a bit of business with Carel in the past. He was always fast to respond and his English is excellent . If I was looking for another fwb300 I would not hesitate to reach out to him.

I appreciate the insight. Part of why I thought it strange not to hear anything back. That was the email address I used. Hmm.

Contact made! Appears to have been a spam filter issue. Thank you very much mh. Hoping to make a deal in the future as Carel’s email follows the reputation of being a good seller.

Just finished a long involved deal with Carel. Start to finish he took a long time to respond to emails often requiring multiple queries. Eventually though he would respond.

I appreciate you sharing your experience. Seems in line with what I’ve been able to learn since I originally posted.

I have only purchased one 10M rifle from him but it was everything he claimed it was and the transaction went smoothly.
If I were in the market for something he was selling I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from him again.

I have a friend who has bought several rifles from Carel. Not always fast but always positive at the end.
