Hopefully this year he’ll get to them. I wouldn't put up with that. JR If you know of anyone who is turning around quality restoration work quickly, please let us know. Every smith I know, including myself is way behind. There are less folks out there offering up quality restoration work than in the past and demand for restoration is sky high. I have two safes full of work waiting to hit the que and entirely too many projects in process. Bill does good work and his services are in demand, there are only so many hours in a day. I sent a fully prepped grip cap to Turnbull for case hardening not long ago, it took them almost four months and they have a shop full of craftsmen, Bill is one guy. I'm all ears about these guys with a fast turn around....I'll start referring all the inquiries I am turning down to those guys. http://www.bertramandco.com/ Booking African hunts, firearms import services Here for the meltdowns

Bill does great work, he has done other stuff for me and it has been great. Based on your frustrations, wouldn't you think it's wise the OP going into a project might take some time, but worth the wait? Last edited by RARiddell; 03/04/24 10:54 AM.
