Same as Tinker and Whitey, Eightbore. I have enough barrels to repair and finish to fill a Suburban, but I have been stung by the best in the business. I will probably die with these unfinished barrels. I have offered to go to work for three fine barrel finishers to take the pressure off their striking chores. Yes, I can strike a mean set of barrels. Not only did they decline my offers, they continued to hold my barrels hostage for many more months. Two of them went two years and I had to take the barrels back, unfinished. By the way, there is justice in the world if these barrel rapists get a screwing from the king of barrel rapists.

Don, I think Mike Orlen quit doing general repair work several years ago so as to concentrate on his barrel work. The repair work he did for me that I referred to in my earlier post was done after he had generally quit the general gunsmithing business, and that's why he took so long to get my Beretta done. Like I said though, he did a good job on it and the time it took was reflected in the reduced amount of the bill...Geo

George, I think it was some type of barrel work that the man wanted done. It may not have been choke work.

This is just my opinion. But no matter the problem. Lack of honest communication says a lot about the person.JMO Whitey

That's a shame. Standup guy. Always returned choke and hone work to me within the week. Aside from missing out on the reasonable pricing and fast turnover, I also hope he's OK and the hog on ice act is not due to distractions such as health issues. If he's OK, I hope he'll respond and fulfill his obligations.

Is Mr. Orlen known as a registerd DGS BBS member? I don't recall seeing any posts by him. I've talked to him on the phone about barrel work but not recently. Hope all is well and this is just some strange communication breakdown. He's who I would have sent my work to but now??? Good luck Mr. Hurst.
