To be fair to Mr. Orlen, I think most of the complaints (such as they were) were relative to bluing work and the time he took. OTOH, I think people have been (near) uniformly positive on his bore and choke work. I can vouch for that; I sent him a French sxs with bore pitting issues to get his take on whether it was one to send back and he turned it around such that it was back in my hands within a week. On stock bending, I have not heard any negatives about him or his work.
