Good news. I received an email yesterday evening from the gunsmith who promised to return my guns and indicated a time frame to do so.

Jim: It's been over two years since I shipped the guns out for work. Yes, the previous fast and good service I got was from this individual.

I really appreciate all the responses, especially Bighorn, Chuck, Amarillo Mike and Ky Jon (a perceptive fellow) who had helpful suggestions.
