: I Just Returned From Bob's Blog, Anyone Interested in "The REST of the Story"
: Big_Bill March 30, 2009, 03:58:55 PM

Hello All,

I just read Bob's (CharlieDaTuna's) Blog, and anyone that would like to read Bob's account of this saga, should stop in there and read Bob's account of what has, and is happening concerning the GREAT GRT-III Trigger !

This Blog was started by Bob (CDT) because he has been unable to respond to Steve in NC lies and attacks on his GREAT GRT-III Trigger. Steve in NC seams to be able to intimidate other forums in some way, so that anyone that disagrees with him are blocked, or their post are DELETED.

So if you are interested in "The Rest of the Story", go to: http://charliedatuna.blogspot.com/ (http://charliedatuna.blogspot.com/)

Thanks,

Bill

I'm new to this controversy. However, I had already read Bob's blog. Being an engineer I understand the difficulties between conception, design, and manufacturing. All I can say, is Bob's hard work and effort to make his GRT-III trigger is to be commended. It's a great product - well made with close tolerances yet versatile enough to fit a wide variety of makes and models.

I have three GRT-III's: One in a Daisy 130A, one in a Gamo Hunter 220, and now one in my new Crosman Quest 800. They all dropped right in and worked well without any adjustments. If fact, the only one I've adjusted, at all, was the one in my Quest. It worked fine, but required a little "tweaking" to suit my personal tastes. Given the manufacturing tolerances (especially in the Chinese made Quest) I think it's a testament to Bob that it works so well in so many different air rifles.

GREAT PRODUCT and GREAT PRODUCT SUPPORT! Way to go, Bob.

I think I understand the "controversy" and what is at the root of it all. What I don't understand is why independent forums, other than Steve's forum, permit him or anyone a free hand to bash CDT, on the one hand, and absolute censorship of anything CDT might post, on the other hand. That being the case, I just avoid those forums.

I tried to post on Green tonight, and could not !

I have been a member there for two years, and I'm sure they know my feelings on this topic, as we known there, as we all visit other forums from time to time.

I believe Steve in NC badgers and bullies anyone that doesn't share his philosophy or stories.

Now Steve is claiming an improvement - plastic coating on his adjustment screw to hold it in place. I asked why a simple locking nut arrangement wouldn't do just as well? "No. Locknuts are a poor solution in high-precision adjustment applications because...
...tightening the nut almost always perturbs the adjustment by a few 0.001"s. Ask a Daystate Huntsman owner about trigger adjustments, if you don't believe me. The Huntsman trigger uses coaxial lockscrews - which have the same problem as locknuts for the same reason."

Call for the Princess and the Pea!!! I think my trigger adjustment just went out by .002"! Oooo, I'm so PERTURBED!!!!

Well, unless you are one of the blessed who can tell 1 lb 3 oz from 1 lb 4 oz, I can't see the benefit of micro-tuning pull weights. Used to have a SW radio with a fine tuning feature. Once you dialed in a station, you turned the fine tune knob to get it really clear. Of course, it never actually got any clearer. Was just a feel-good feature.

Seriously, he's starting to sound like this guy: :D

Fewer machine operations for a cheaper product, likely done with a substandard material . . .

We'll find out when somebody loses a finger to a 'slamfire' because the trigger failed. I certainly don't trust SteveNC, and have already been 'ripped off' by his 'sight of hand' in the past.

CdT always stands behind his products and services, while SteveNC palms off responsibility or liability ANYWHERE else!

WHY!?! Anyone care to guess?

I didn't even know that I was blocked out until just a couple of days ago. I haven't posted much on the Green Forum because of my respect for the guys over there. Every time I would post over there or talk to the guys, Steve would jump in and start trouble. I talked to Duane and a couple of others way back and explained to them that because of my respect for them and their members that I wouldn't post there much because of the problems that Steve would cause. It didn't matter though because it seems that he would still cause problems and still does to this day.

I still have a lot of respect for them but why the admin's there allowed him back in after banning him a couple of times and still put up with his antics is beyond me. And after seeing what has happened the last few days and all of the blocked people from our forum, it really makes you wonder.

Guess who's been reading this post?

Recently posted on the Yellow:

"...somebody expressed confusion about why a mere few 0.001"s of slop in a trigger adjustment makes a difference in the quality of the trigger's feel, as I mentioned in an earlier post of mine "

I'm sorry, but you're too hung up on nuances, pal. Most guys tune a trigger to their liking and then measure the pull. At that point, it is what it is. Who cares if it's .001 +/- so long as it works? And, to be frank, your trigger ain't tuning Olympic class guns but hunting dogs. As much as the current Tuna design is concerned, there aren't a whole lot of folks too broke up about the adjustments. I guess they are all unsophisticated rubes when it comes to the fine art of applied physics.

And I brought the point up HERE because you know damn well it can't be mentioned or discussed over THERE. Spring's here. Time to let the snow melt. :emoticon:

Gene - I drop in to the Crosman now and again. The moderator there was having troll troubles and threw out some ideas for tighter posting rules. Maybe they have been implaced. I do know that I had trouble for a while posting to the classifieds, even a buy it reply. I re-applied and it seemed to work after that. Haven't tried lately, though. Maybe I will give it a test as I just picked up a stock 1377 and was wondering what light mods might be available.

Hey Red, that is like a band aid. If the trigger was made with precision specifications you would not need plastic to hold adjustment screws in..:) The whole thing with the design of the GRT-III trigger is in the tolerances. The GRT-III triggers are made from quality material and made on CNC machines with some spectacular tolerances. The screws on the GRT-III do not come out. I think Bob knows the tolerances that he as set as a guide for the manufacturing of them.

Hey Charlie, thanks for letting us know your side of the story through your blog. I believe you have some pain inside for being treated and labeled wrongfully. Knowing more about the events happened prior to the bashing I'd say you do really have the right to defend yourself. But I think "It must be actually just between you and "Mr. Steve in NC". It's funny how we as individuals act like small insecure children that wants attention and sympathy when we can stand up as a man and admit whether we are at fault at make amends.

I am not an engineer but I design my own stuff most of the time. I can fully understand your side. How can I let people know that my design works if I can't even produce a simple workable plan for my contractors to build my prototype?

Well, there are always time for all of us to learn lessons from life. The question is "Are we willing to learn?"

Again, just my 2 cents on the matter.

I had made a point about customer service and below is a copy of that text.

As the manufacturer and marketing agent, my customer service history is impeccable. As everyone that has ever purchased a GRT-III trigger (as well as the original GTX-III trigger) knows, I am personally available to answer any and all questions regarding the GRT-III trigger. Although it rarely happens, if there is an installation problem, I’m always available and respond usually within minutes of being made aware of it either by phone if a number is provided or an immediate e-mail. My customers contact me directly and don’t go through some commercial third party. They go directly to the source. Do you think for one minute Steve will provide that kind of personal service?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now it just so happens that one of our members sent me an e-mail a little while ago pointing something out after visiting the AOA site where a certain trigger is being sold.

This disclaimer isin smaller print print at the bottom of the page.

**Note: For instructions and support we provide the guides linked on this page. This is the full extent of the support we can supply on these custom parts. Please do not call with installation questions or instruction as we cannot give any verbal support. These custom parts carry no warranty, and use may void factory warranty on the product to which they are installed. Airguns of Arizona assumes no liability on the safety or function of the products listed on this page. All sales on these parts are final.

------------------------------------------------------------

This information certainly is not being revealed, pointed outorprovided openly by the "provider"to the memberson the YP's or the Crosman forum or anybody else. And of course I can't/won't post there but it is a shame that theyand other are notmade aware of it. And unless the buyer reads the small print (and most don't)and he's not aware of it, he's stuck with his purchase.

It's one of those cases of "Buyer beware". You buy it and if you have problems, have it for lunch.

: WVscott April 01, 2009, 03:15:23 PM

And when he said that you can't get a precise setting with a locknut it made me recall the valve adjuster screws with LOCKNUTS on my BMW R1150GS motorcycle. I used to adjust the valves myself and they were very sensitive adjustments, within one or two thousandths' of an inch. I was able to adjust my valves perfectly with the locknut. Sometimes tightening the locknut would throw off the adjustment if you weren't paying attention, but once you got the feel for it, it worked perfectly and most importantly, I never had an adjustment screw work loose. I have a bottle of vibratite and have used it on occasion, but find that blue locktite works better for me. Vibratite says with their product you can repeatedly remove a screw and put it back in and the vibratite coating will continue to keep the screw in place. I've found that when I remove the screw the stuff comes off the threads...even after degreasing the threads. Maybe I'm not using it correctly.

I am so sick of his f$#@%'n ads every other post.
He keeps going on and on and on about his f%$%$%^ rounded screw and locktite!
I must admit, that I spent most time over there and only heard his side of the story. After seeing your side, I know get sickened by his constant bragging and BS about the screw and locktite. Big news" Steve invented locktite" I saw your picture on your blog and I must say" you don't look like a backstabbing carrer minded criminal" LOL!
Good for you Bob and good luck. Screw Steve.
Every time I see one of his ads, I want to chime in but I wont, cause I don't want to get involved, and dont want to be made to disappear from the forums!

I purchased the GRT-III trigger before I knew anything about "the problems", or Your GTX trigger. I needed help with my rotten Gamo trigger that I have been suffering with for 8 years ! And when I received my GTR-III, it came with full instructions on how to adjust it. and when I had problems installing it, being very inexperienced changing air gun triggers, that fishy fellow you mentioned, spent over an hour helping me install it over the phone, he even offered to do it for me at no charge, all I would have to do was send it to him. Now I'm very excited about your GTX trigger, and am dieing to give it a try ! But I'm a little set back, afraid, that if i can't get it working as advertised, I'll have no one to go to for help ! The add over at AOA says, no additional help, no refunds ??? Now not being a great air gunsmith and designer like you, I may run into some problems ! Can I count on you for help should I need it ? While I Love to shoot my airguns, I'm not the most mechanically inclined air gunner I know ! Respectfully, Bill

...and get personalized "verbal support" for installing trigger mod's? Or, for that matter, does anybody assume warranty support for your gun after you do?

Of course not. The reality of the economics of these inexpensive parts preclude it.

I applaud the honest and business-like folks at AoAZ for simply telling it like it is upfront, instead of (like a certain fishy fellow I won't mention) letting the customer find out for himself only after he's spent his money. (http://../../images/wink.gif)

I was going to post, myself, should we now be posting our questions on the Classifieds and sales on the Yellow? I know the forum owner and Steve go way back, but he's letting him run it as his own private infomercial. It really is detracting from and, otherwise, decent forum.

I don't understand your post at all ???

You make reference to my post, buy what are you trying to say ???

First, You say I LIED !!! About what ???

Secondly, I would kill myself before I became the Anti-Christ ! Or became anything like, the Anti-Christ !

The rest of your post doesn't make any sense, you should get your thoughts in order before you start typing, and then re-read what you typed, to make sure it came out intelligible.

As for Charlie's e-mail address, it is all over his Ad's for the GREAT GRT-III trigger.

And, if for some reason I needed Steve Woodward's phone number, I could have it in 5 minutes ! But I'm now sure that he would hang up on me, just as he deleted my questions on the "Yellow forum". I guess he doesn't even know enough about the GTX trigger to help someone that is having trouble with "his" trigger !

Please write back when you have collected your thought Michael.

I was referring to the nickname from Revelations, not anyone here. The words in red, above. Don't want to make us look as bad, if not worse, than them. I guess I should cool it with the chuckles, as well. I do wish I could post on the Yellow about how Charlie now has a video to guide users through his installation process. One place you might be able to be heard is the Crosman as there's a good many there who are getting tired of the trigger issue plus the ads for Steve's new products. But they've just had a round of troll trouble so I would leave them out of it.

What gets me is all the fuss about the rounded adjustment screw tip. I mean, hasn't Charlie's trigger done more than all right as it is? The new design is like turning it up to eleven.

Michael !

I would have asked you if you were serious or not, before I called you a liar !

And YES, everythingthat Iwrote was truthful !!! I do not believe in lying. And yes, as you can see by my response, I am respectful to you also, even after you calling me a liar ! Although I wouldn't try that if you ever meet me in person !

As for my not being serious, I guess we can add Telepathy to Your and Steve's accomplishments.

I think we both know that any disassembly of any air gun will void the warrantee, unless performed by a factory repair shop !

From everything that I have read on the Yellow Forum, Steve never had anything to do with customer service, Bob (CDT) sold and serviced them !And why is there not any mention on AOA, to contact you or the YF, if there is a problem ?

It just states, NO RETURNS !!! I did want to try your trigger out, but a Pig in a Poke ? I don't think so now..

And NO, I don't think for one minute, that I can expect any Customer Service from Steve Woodward.

Although it rarely happens, if there is an installation problem, I’m always available and respond usually within minutes of being made aware of it either by phone if a number is provided or an immediate e-mail. My customers contact me directly and don’t go through some commercial third party. They go directly to the source. Do you think for one minute Steve will provide that kind of personal service?

See Charlie calls you. You don't call him. So why does Steve have to give out his phone number when Charlie doesn't? I bet the main methods Charlie uses to help are the forum and email. You can't expect him to be on the phone all day. Same should apply to Steve shouldn't it?

Well Red it looks like we are getting some Trolls over here now. I am just about ready to put an end to this Troll business.

You are obviously skilled enough to slide your post in here just "Under The Radar". Never have I seen someone so "Clever" as you to keep your derogitory posts within the "Gray Area". I must give you credit for that. You have a gift for stirring the emotions of good Folks,, while somehow staying just in the Gray Area of the rules. As a moderator on another forum,, I would find it very difficult to ban you based on the "letter of the Law/rules". You should be very proud of yourself,,,,,, you are very "Clever" indeed. Tim.

Personally, I can see why Steve is selling his trigger through AOA. I just had a buying experience with them that was far from what I had hoped for..........probably won't be back anytime soon.......if ever....(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cry.gif)........two peas in a pod..

It's Great to have your GTX back Steve, but
