Josey Wales Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Not anything you care about getting back anyway, They've had a Walther PPK/S slide with PP barrel, and a Walther P1 slide and steel P38 barrel of mine for a couple years plus now, never answers the phone, never responds to emails. There are other such stories all over the net on other boards. It's too bad, they used to do good work and were the "Go To" guys for barrels threading but obviously those days are past. Now they just steal your shit. THIEVES! https://www.bbb.org/us/or/hillsboro/profile/gun-dealers/tornado-technologies-1296-90006823 Apparently they get negative reviews "closed", BBB shows 17 complaints closed in the last 12 months and 28 closed in the last 3 years. So they are still around, their website is still active, but they are just a black hole for your stuff, what goes in doesn't come back out.

MontanaRenegade86 Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 That's too bad. I thought that they were better than that. ... I had a bad deal with a dealer in Oregon. Got a local LEO to give Oregon law enforcement a ring. It got the ball rolling pretty quick. The clown that ignored me for months suddenly found his desire to get off his ass and get the NFA paperwork started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firelizzard Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 That sucks! I wanted to use them to thread my Nagant revolver. Thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josey Wales Posted October 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) I received the following this morning from a fellow AR15.com member. I'm bobofthedesert. bobofthedesert 10/19/2023 11:43:44 PM PDT Tornado Tech Hey! I saw your post in the thread about TT and wanted to share some info with you. I'm another person Mike fucked over, and he's become completely unreachable. There's a local private investigator who has stopped by his shop, and has gotten people's stuff back on their behalf. Here's his info: Mark Ososke Oregon Investigator # 33719 PI Services http://pi-info.com/ 503-643-4274 PO BOX 157, Beaverton, OR 97075 If you're looking to go the legal route, here's some other people to talk to: Detective Anthony Johnson, Hillsboro PD 503-615-6791, 503-793-4083 (cell) DA Jeff Lesowski 503-846-8671 BATFE regional Industry operations investigations, Michele Neilson 503-331-7830 He used to work at a local shop, and they may have a way to get ahold of him. They're absolutely not at fault for his actions, and hes since been fired, but when I talked to them they said they'd pass a message. MK Tactical, 503-746-4113 Hope this helps you get some resolution. END OF MESSAGE Edited October 20, 2023 by Josey Wales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mafiamanj15 Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 I almost went through with having my 1966 PPK threaded through them, glad I didn't. Just a shame there aren't a whole lot of options for getting PPK's threaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT Fish Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 3 hours ago, Itachi said: This is quite surprising because i have only heard good things about them. Wonder what could cause such negligence They really did have a great reputation in the past. I remember them being the go-to for p90 chops back in the day. But I've heard a lot of similar stories to this one in the last couple years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saab95v6 Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 Mike has a Beretta 92 Barrel of mine been like 2 years, never heard back . Went the Mk Tactical route, where Mike still works and they passed the message, but no barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
