I have sent work to Keith and the work was impeccable (hinge pin replacement and other small things). I have sent work to Mike Orlen and was seriously disappointed.
I think when you send work to most gunsmiths, you need to be specific about the work you want done, know how you want it done, and what the final product should look like. Otherwise the end results may not match your expectations.

Start your own thread about it and you'll probably get a better response.

I also live in Bend and all the work Keith has done for me has been excellent. That includes rebrowning, barrel pollishing, action tightening, dent removing, and some wood work. He is very quick.
Black and white work on American Damascus guns is tough. It requires very toxic chemicals and lots of practice. I don't know anyone who does it superbly after Oscar died, but would certainly like to know.

Pete - Dale Edmonds in Kansas City is currently one of the best out there. Ask about him on the Parker or L.C. Smith site. Bill

I would not recommend Keith for any action work. When he was in Longview, I sent him two D grade Parkers to have the barrels put back on face. When he was finished, light was still visible between the barrels and face of the action. The Tig weld he used was pitted and poorly done. One of the guns would not close completely and the forend was loose. I returned the guns three times. The problems were not corrected. He finally admitted that this was the best he could do and that he was not a great Tig welder. I have since sent the guns to another gunsmith who has correctly placed the guns back on face and the repair in undetectable.
