Contact info for Urbach Precision?

[hkg3td]

I'm looking to get in touch with Urbach Precision MFG. Does anyone have their contact info? The only number I can find does not work.

Thansk!

[hkg3td]

No one?

[AKR]

The only way to get in touch with him is by fax. He stopped answering the phone several years ago. I did look and do not have the fax number anymore (I do not like to do business with people that cannot be reached by phone so I gave up on Murry).

Try postng on Tom Bower's subguns NFA board.

This is all I have: Urbach Precison Manufacturing Co.
1529 Axe Dr.
Garland, TX 75041
214/864-0848
I do not have his fax and I agree, if you cannot reach someone by phone or e-mail I would just as soon go elsewhere. There are plenty of good smiths out there.

[hkg3td]

Thanks guys. I'm trying to get in touch with him to see what it takes to get one of his PSG clone barrels.

Finding a 26" barrel is a real freaking nightmare.


Wish me luck, hope he answers. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[AKR]

Hey, email me.

[hkg3td]

Done. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I sent Murry my HK91 (3) Three years ago and have called and called with no answer. I have even faxed him recently and simply asked for a reply on when he would be finished with my gun or if he would send it & my parts back to me unfinished. He did not reply to my fax. Take this with a grain of salt but I would advise you to think twice before you send your gun. He told me 6 months tops to turn my HK91 into a MSG90A1 and It's been 3 years and counting.By the way if anyone here knows Murry and talks to him will you please ask him to call me. He has had my gun & parts for 3 years and I don't think it's to much to ask for a returned phone call. Thank you Robby King / King's Guns 01 FFL 03 SOT 1-706-213-1554 8-5 Eastern M-F

Robby, that sucks. I wonder if he's going to do my rifle in a batch with yours. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif I sent it over two years ago for a PSG1 conversion, but I sent it to Larry Wolff, who said he could expedite the process. Now, he won't communicate with me either.

Funny thing is, I don't really even want the PSG anymore; I'd rather have a 51 to use with one of my sears.

What number did you use to fax him?

[KING]

I have Murry's fax number at work. I will be out tomorrow & Wen. but will email it to you Thursday night. Larry Wolff and I had several deals and all went great. I haven't talked to him in a while. I guess I'm not the only one in this boat. If Larry could help you I think he would. Thanks RK

[Kiefer]

Hi Guy's,
Don't feel like your alone in this boat. Murray has had my Rifle also, fixing to go on 3 years for my MSG90A1 conversion. He did a super, super job on my PSG1 conversion. But like you all said after awhile of waiting you give up on the project. I almost forgot I even had a gun it's been so long. Good luck in your endevours. Best Regards, Keith

GUNSMITH FACTS OF LIFE

A. GOOD
B. FAST
C. CHEAP

YOU CAN PICK ANY TWO OF THE ABOVE.

[EDPmedic]

3 yrs I would be at his door asking for the firearm back. That to me is extreme unless YOU were told it would be that long. I keep hearing horror stories about sending things out and instead of the 3 to 6 months its years. To me thats a sign of the person being a out right Liar and BS artist.
I have a friend going through something like this, but not firearm related. I told him the same thing pay for the flight and get your stuff back. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[redgtsviper]

Read this. This guy knows how to get reach him

At this point I would be on a plane to his front door. How do you guy last for these long times? There is no excuse for that...

Forget that... nobody there can get ahold of him either. We've all given up trying to contact Murray Urbach.

Urbach SEEMS to work for Gordon Miller exclusively. You want Murray to do something, contact Gordon... he seems to have a 'hot' line to Urbach that he answers.

Your thought processes are working correctly... however, this is still relevant because Murray Urbach is still unreachable.

For a guy that does such good work, being unable to contact him is a complete pain in the whatzat.

[Hk51fan]

Hahahah! I think this is funny. Because I was reading it and I saw the post from Kiefer stating that it's been 3yrs and I was like....what are you talking about it was 7yrs and you have gun back....am I high? Then I thought I would write a post and tell those guy's that 3yrs was nothing and that they have another 4 to go. Then I saw the dat and realized this was from 2004! Hols Shit1 If I had been writing and wondering about my gun in 2004, I would saure as hell not have waited another 4YEARS!!!! Sheeesh!

Call me impatient, but I would have cashed in some miles and shown up on his doorstep! Then I would have gotten my stuff back plus a lot of freebies for the airfare and the time he wasted!

So let me pile on. I sent him my rifle in the spring of 2001. Its now December of 2008.. still no rifle back. No answering the phone, no replies to faxes either. I guess a threat of legal action is the only way to get him to lift a finger. A shame, really, because it was my understanding his work was decent (when he did it).

I feel for you, there is NO excuse for this type of service. Or should I have said, lack of service.

WTF is up with these "PROFESSIONAL" HK smiths?
IGF is the only 1 who gets the job DONE.

I'd be at his door with law enforcement to retrieve your property, you are not that far away.

[Shattered Mind]

Apparently Murray has gone around the bend, so to speak. Seems he must be keeping himself locked inside his shop and listening to "Coast to Coast AM" all hours of the night and awaiting alien invasion and government mindreaders or something.

Having firearms in line for a year is stupid, having them in line for years is retarded. He must think of them as personal property by now. And I thought a year at Dyer's shop was bad...

[azShootist]

Now I'm curious. How old is he? I know he's been in the biz for a while. With a 7 year backlog, many people will be screwed royally if he ever croaks.

Then I guess I'm about to go full retard, like Simple Jack. One of mine will have been there 2 years as of this coming April 1. I'm really not in a hurry for it. If he hasn't finished it by the time I finish my second HK53, I'll just go by and pick it up and finish it myself.

I'd guess he's in his early 50s.

[HKNC]

D I'm working on your problem ;)

...and no, I still don't have my 10mm yet :(

[tmbrwulf]

"No gun will be done before its time"

must be galxy time

he's well into his 60's

You can always dream of the finished product in your head movies :)

[wwIIBuff]

Ouch :41:

[Shattered Mind]

Does he have any idea that the HK community is in a mild friggen uproar about his refusal to answer the phone or get an email addy?

Or does he really just not give a rat's whatzat about us?

I think his situation is similar (but opposite maybe) to that of Special Weapons. By that I mean half the people love them because they are cheap, and will overlook any flaws they may have, and the other half of people can't put up with those flaws and attitude of the company owner.

Contrast that with Urbach, where half the people think it's worth the wait for perfection, the other half won't wait that long no matter how good they are.

It all just depends on what each person chooses to uproar over.

[HkCHUCK]

With all the bad press he gets, I find it amazing that anyone would send him a project gun or if they do would complain about not being able to contact him or having to wait a mere decade to get their whatever back.
