I presently have a fine gun at a smith up north. Completion date was never agreed upon but he indicated it was a couple of month job. It has been six months now. Now to his benefit it has been a very harsh winter up in New Hampshire. Making it difficult for him to work in his shop. He does answer my calls and has assured me he will have it done by the time the Southern Side by Side event comes around but we will see. I have now put his town on my I phone weather bug and check it daily.
I have another gunsmith who lives in my state and I promise him a 5 t/h of liquor if he gets it done fast.
but both these guys are excellent gunsmiths and I would rather wait a little bit longer and have a first class job instead of a rush job.
I shoot with an older gentleman that broke a top lever spring in his Purdey hammer gun. He waited a long time and every week when we were shooting I would ask him about it. His answer to me was "Never worry and call your gunsmith".
