I hit the road for Amhearst MA this morning at 5AM. It was about a 2 1/2 drive. I had called Mike and made arrangements to have some work done. I met him when he opened at 8:30. He was going to open the chokes on both barrels of two doubles while I waited and I planned to leave an O/U to have choke tubes installed. I took a walk and went to breakfast returning an hour later. I was stunned to find he was just finishing all 3 guns!!!!!! His work is excellent, his prices incredibly good and the turnaround was simply incredible!!!! You can't go wrong dealing with Mike, nice guy too.

Not surprised. Mike's on the bell lap before most start the race. He reminds me of that old relativity limerick: The gun left one day in a relative way and returned the previous nite.

I sent Mike a gun last week to get the stock bent.The UPS tracking # showed the package delivered Thursday. I called him Monday (yesterday) to see if he had a chance to look it over.The gun was already on it's way back!I received it today,another great job.
Thanks Mike

I sent out a sxs barrel Saturday for him to take out a few dents. I better call him tomorrow, cause i didn't include any notes with the barrels. Thanks for the reminder!

All matches my experiences with Mike. He's a good friend to us all. hAlso as no reluctance in sharing his how-to information. A rare, good guy and friend.

I have never had any work done by him as yet, but we have always heard nothing but good things about him on this board as far as I can remember. Nice to know there is someone out there with 100% feedback as far as reputation goes. Good luck, Mike.

Another vote for Mike. In most trades, the mantra is: "GOOD - FAST - CHEAP (choose two only)." Almost miraculaously, you get all three with Mr. Orlen!
