The good and BAD of Allen M

[jsx1043]

For anyone that hasn’t met @vitamink in person, yes, he is exactly like this in person as well LOL

Can confirm, @AllenM and his people are the best around. If I can ever find a damn passenger side mirror for my 2016 Fusion, I’ll be seeing him about getting it fixed from my dumbarse smashing it on a trash can.

@Expat, you just get extra points for usage of the word “scofflaw.” (Tips hat)

Does he look like Printcraft in real life also?

Or maybe Printcraft looks like him

I have not met @printcraft IRL, so I cannot advise. That being said, I’ve never heard of them being in the same place at the same time so…

As for Printcraft’s avatar… yes, that IS Vitamink in that picture.

So I'm hearing that Vitamink has a few personalities.

This whole threat is pure jeanyouuse.

AllenM is on my short list for a new upper/barrel on an Atlas frame.

So the other day I needed a Bren 2 pinned and welded. I contacted INGO member Allen M over at Diamond Collision and set up a time.

I drop off my Bren 2 and my muzzle device and I get contacted immediately. This giant nerd did some math and found out that I was off in my calculations and the combo would be too short. STRIKE 1!!! don’t ever double check my work even if it keeps me out of prison! I should’ve taken his lunch money.

I ordered a stock from Europe, and a part to make my gun just at the legal length. The part arrives first and I go in the morning to drop it off. Everyone is super friendly and legitimately appear to enjoy being at work. STRIKE 2!!!! I’m not a morning person and everyone needs to convey my level of irritability…stop smiling, it’s too early for that and work can’t be that much fun…it’s work. 2 of them tried to engage me in conversation!..The audacity.

So he makes sure everything remains concentric with rods and his own suppressor. At night and over the weekend I get a message that the gun is done. STRIKE 3! Did I ask you to work on it over the weekend, after hours, and on your own time?! No! Now I have this perfectly welded legal gun THAT I CANT SHOOT BECAUSE THE STOCK IS BEING SHIPPED FROM EUROPE! I mean…this guy…so he barely charged me anything which is extra annoying as now it feels like my gun is somehow worth less money. Just based on the amount of conversations on pms and over the phone his hourly rate must be like 10 cents an hour or something. If I went to get an oil change on a Ferrari and the mechanic was like “I dunno $10.00” I’d throw the whole car away.

So in summation:
If you want a really fun friendly staff, a guy who makes sure you’re legal with nerd math, and will soon be out of business because he doesn’t charge anything near what he should…this is your guy.

Holy crap! I saw the title and thought, "I gotta read this as I have never heard anything bad about AllenM!" Nice to read about another satisfied customer about a business who wants to take care of their customers.

This thread seems like a bunch of nonsense. Where's a Mod when you need one? In before the lock!

Haven't had work done by him personally, but everything I've ever seen is positive.

for @AllenM

Not gun work, but I took my M5 to him years ago for some work. He foind and fixed a few other things. Then without asking gave the car a wash and got the paint to look better than from the factory.

The nerve!

It was a pin and weld job, sheesh.
But thanks for the kind words. I'll be sure to make it up for it next time..

AllenM is definitely a great auto body man, a great gunsmith, and most of all, a great human.

I've had the benefit of experiencing all of those aspects.

I hear that Jekyll and Hyde thing can be expensive.

 

[ditcherman]

This thread is fire and I'm just glad to be here.

Should be able to considering the cheap work you have done Allen is top notch and this thread has made my night!!! Thanks VitaminK!!!

 

[natdscott]

Clickbait BS...

But yeah. Allen's a real Dude.

Look, I’ll say this:

I’m sure Allen gets a lot of respect here from the poors with his cheap prices and fast/accurate work, but I’m not one of the poors. I pay full price and then some!

Some people on here take their women out with a coupon and say “just make sure your meal is of equal or lesser value….” Whereas I order the large Pepsi and an appetizer…we are not the same. I don’t fault you lesser INGOers though. I wish I could be content with spending less money. It’s an albatross around my neck for sure.

.... When you live lavish, you spend lavishly and Allen and team don’t allow me to spread my bejeweled wings.
........ BUT NO I didn’t pay what I feel is necessary to fully respect my Bren 2. Now it’s a dirty pirate hooker.

Allen, stop catering to the poors and raise your prices or I will look elsewhere.

Pepsi?! PEPSI?!
You crusty, degenerate royal!
Jesus H. Chr***! That's all we need, a bunch of swells infiltrating our beloved INGO. Next you'll be trying to sully this site with your inbred, contemptible snark!
I've heard rumor of your attempt to purge the classified section of everything that's not a Colt "snake" revolver or a Purdey safari double. Nay, your high-handed ways will find no purchase here. We "commoners" shall band together to cast off your wicked and despicable efforts to subjugate us.
You, and your kind, are not half the bag of chips you think you are.
Your profligate spending keeps our employers in business, necessitating our endless suffrage of a 40, 50, or 60 hour workweek, just to satisfy your incessant demands. You'll defile no willing ears here, my Lord, and deserve no sympathy.

I'll bet you own a sailboat.

Be off with you, vitaminK (if that's your real name......it's more likely Hapsburg) and trouble us no longer!

Sheesh! The starch in some people's shirts.

Apply purple sparingly, or excessively.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

Funny. Knowing a little bit about VitaminK and AllenM it was exactly what I expected.

I better not be the only one that read that as vita-mink
