I've lurked here now and again. I've dreamed of owning a double rifle for years as I am sure many others have. Back in 2008 after doing some research I decided to send J White Gunsmithing of Guilford, Maine a Cz Bobwhite 12 ga. for conversion to 45-120-3.25 double rifle. His YouTube videos on converting shotguns to DR's as well as some positive references led me to believe I was on solid ground. After an excess of four years and 3000 USD later, I received the finished product shown below. At least he made a new mono-block and left the original 12 ga. alone.

Please don't make the same mistake I did.

Complete rubbish rifle. Please do not attempt to fire this dangerous appearing firearm. Such work would not even pass the visual inspection of proof in Birmingham or London, viewed at 10 paces.

Bushveld,

Rest assured I will not shoot it. A Proof House or something similar would sure have helped my case.

Can we assume you were shown photos or other examples of his work that did not exhibit this level of poor craftsmanship? You know... something that might make it worthwhile to try to recover your money in small claims court. It looks like he might have sub-contracted this job out to drunken baboons.


A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

It appears that a settlement has been made thanks to the Maine Better Business bureau and the Maine Att. generals Office.

You have got to be kidding that is a shame that someone would even think they could charge for that he should NOT be able to do another thing. That person cant have any pride. Sorry but what a POS!!!

That's just brutal.


My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.

things like that are what could eventually make the ATF say you can't do these conversions

Sorry about your dream being shot to pieces, but I'm sure that would happen if you did fire it.

It's a sahme what happened. My heart goes out to you.

God bless!
