My goodness, what a mess. All I wanted to do is post some pictures of my rifle...
I do want to thank all the wonderful folks who were able to point out all the glaring faults with Mr. Hurst's work. I must say I was surprised to learn this, but it is best to find out now so perhaps I can get some of my money back. If it turns into an ugly court battle it is reassuring that I have ready access to experts in the field who are not afraid to come forward.
There is something of a bright side to all this. To be frank, it is somewhat of a relief to learn that my rifle is irreparably damaged by this shoddy work. It takes a lot of pressure off of me knowing that the rifle is already junk, so I don't have to worry any more about damaging it in the final finishing and assembly.
And no, I won't be posting any more pictures of the rifle. Between upsetting the delicate sensibilities of the masters and then watching these same paragons trash a dear friend of mine, it just doesn't seem worthwhile.
As long as the owner and members of this board choose to harbor jerks like this hiding behind their silly aliases, the whole forum will remain a platform for their delusions of adequacy and of little value for anything else. Too bad. It used to be a fun place to visit.
Regards to all,
Glenn Fewless
