The good and BAD of Allen M

[bobzilla]

Clickbait BS...

But yeah. Allen's a real Dude.

Are you sure? He could be an advanced android, the likes of which we've yet to see. Maybe from the Institute.

I will say this, he doesn't seem to sleep much. Maybe he's got one of those quick charging stations at the shop.

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.

Most Hoosiers couldn't tell what side "Port" is on.
They think Indiana Beach has tides.

I really like using AllenM

But I wonder how his bondo skills are

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

I did for years.

What? He’s a replicant?

 

[steveac1]

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

for @AllenM

Sounds like a road trip to Indy. Ill bring a tooth brush and a pillow.

 

[sloppyjoe]

I had Allen M thread a Ruger mkiii barrel for me and cerakote a can. Both turned out fantastic. Hes also super friendly at competitions and INGO events and is always offering to let us poors try out his awesome firearms. A++ experience all around.

Port is on your left.
Starboard is on your other left.

Don't know about tides, but there's plenty of wave action when the "portly" ladies jump in the lake.

Vita Mink - good to see you post again.

 

[foszoe]

Does he look like Printcraft in real life also?

Or maybe Printcraft looks like him

They are basically twins

They are basically twins

Were they raised by the same pack of wolves?

I don't know. I just remember complimenting him on not photoshopping his avatar before i took my wife by the hand and headed for the remotest corner of the room.

 

[bobzilla]

Were they raised by the same pack of wolves? Did they crawl out from under the same rock and live under the bridge?

FTFY

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.

Sounds like really crappy workmanship, I would be happy to take that Travesty of a gun off or your hands! At double the stated labor rate of course

 

[1nderbeard]

unmatched in quality and service

And here I thought he did such a good job because he liked me more than you guys...

 

[IUKalash429]

+1 for Allen. His little "shop within a shop" setup is quite impressive. He helped me with a krink SBR and didn't charge a thing - I had to insist on paying him something. Great guy and a fellow AK fan, so he earns 5.45 bonus points.

late to the party, but can not say enough nice things about Allen M
