I have used both and both are among the best. I almost always use Alfred as I live nearby and always enjoy spending time with him in his shop. He is a wealth of knowledge. He has a hammer gun of mine currently. You can tell alot about a gunsmith by his shop. Alfred makes most of his tools by hand and has quite a collection. His shop is clean and extremely orderly. If you are in a hurry though, do not use either, unless you know them well.
