Iron Elite - PDM, Inc - Not Responding

[sundog]

I think I've given fair chance for them to respond before posting this.

Based on this article:
http://www.surplusrifle.com/reviews2005/chameleon/index.asp

I decided to try the Iron Elite scope mount. I sent an order form and cashier's check for the amount of the mount and a set of rings. That check was cashed and it cleared the credit union where I work on 6/27/06. On 7/27 and 7/28 I tried to contact them via phone - 'out of order or no longer in service'. I've also sent 2 emails. To date, no response. They have my money, I have no parts, and I cannot contact them.

Needless to say, I am not very happy with this situation.

Anyone know alteranate means of contacting these folks?
They have a web site -

Corky, if you want, and have a solid street address, I may know some "people" who could give them a "visit", considering they are reasonably near Chicago. Only drawback is, then you owe them a "favor". One advantage of my travels over the years, I have met people, in both high, and low places. These particular people, would be considered to be, in the low places.

................Their website is still active: http://www.iron-elite.com/

You also might contact Jamie at teh surplus rifle website to see if he knows anything. Says he talked to the guy.

Okay, here's the latest. Buckshot had the right idea. I've already corresponded with Jamie Mangrum - seems to be a nice guy. He is the fella what did the Mauser conversion using this part and wrote the article on surplus rifles. I emailed him to see if he knew anything about the company and he replied with a very nice note that as far as he knew they just took a long time and do stuff in batches. Sooo, I'll sit and wait for awhile. Makes me feel a little better, but not real comfy. sundog

...............If your e-mails haven't bounced, I'd send another one. Politely state that you had sent payment which was cashed and it's been X days and no merchandise or communication. So wassup?
