So I paid a deposit for a custom marker(which will remain unnamed) that was coming out in limited numbers. I was pretty excited about this marker as it would fit nicely with my collection. I had planned to have the marker lightly custom milled before anno. I contacted a very reputable machinist from the paintball community and he replied saying the milling didn't sound difficult. The milling in question was just extending some slots, to make the marker a little different than the rest. The company putting out the marker had originally told me that they didn't offer custom milling but that they would check if we could have it sent out to a 3rd party for the milling, which was my original plan. After a few days of not hearing back from them I decided to check in and they informed me that it wasn't possible due to insurance reasons. They told me that the only way to have it custom milled was to have it milled after being anno'ed and completed by them. I found this pretty disappointing as I don't want to pay to have it anodized the first time for completion, then pay to have it anodized a second time after the milling.
I'm not really sure what my options are from here. What would you guys do in this situation?
