I've been a more than satisfied customer of our friend, Mike Orlen, for many years now. Just had another excellent experience with him and his work. I bought a Browning Broadway Trap gun, just a few weeks ago. There was about an 8" section of the top rib that was loose. I knew this before buying it and negotiated some more dollars off of an already decent price. After getting several estimates to relay the whole rib and re-blue the barrels, I sent it off to Mike. He was confident he could re-solder the loose section and not require re-bluing. I sent it UPS Ground, on Oct. 25th. It arrived at Mike's place on Nov. 1st. It was delivered back to me today, Nov. 10th. The repair is solid and nearly invisible. His price was way below the other estimates and turnaround was uncommonly quick. The gun is still in the bargain range I was hoping for.
Thank you once again, Mike O.

Mike's work ethics and turnaround time should be something all gunsmiths should strive for...our little world would then be a better place.
