When I was doing electrical construction, I had a job that I billed less than my estimate. My wife said I was a fool, but it got me more jobs from the costomers' recommendations. Small town, people know if you need to advertise, you can't be any good.

I was finally able to free one of the hostages, and sent it to NECG to complete the stocking project. Their work was high quality, promptly done and handled professionally from start to finish. If low cost is your main concern, they may not fit the bill, but they do great work and do what they say they are going to do.

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

My 2 cents is that a business should ALWAYS under promise and over deliver. That is how we have run our machine shop for 19yrs.

I to had to go the extra mile to get my English gun back. I just want to say I had to get pretty stern with the Gentleman.
But I will say it came back spectacular.
Would I use yous this guy again, well I would have to have a heart to heart first.
Maybe we should start a review section for gunsmiths.
After all this guy came highly recommended.
But I would say he was a nice old chap and when I did call him to complain I ended up hating myself for being so ugly.

That should work out well.

About as well as comparing a one-man gunsmith shop to a machine shop or electrician shop or plumber that has multiple employees, none of which even remotely encompass the skill set of a true gunmaker.

On the other hand, it might be a good way of vetting potential clients.

Hostage - that describes the problem succinctly.

It is my opinion the greatest downside to pursuing the hobby of owning fine guns.

So far I have had only one really bad experience, I count my blessings.


Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.

My hostage situation is a gun I paid for 14 months ago and still have not held it.

More to the story; suffice to say I have been in touch with INTERPOL.
