Wow! Sorry to hear and see your misfortune, what a shame. If he told you to F-off, guess there may not much you can do other than small claims court. But with you being in Canada, I don't know how that would work, if at all.
I used to send all my Smithing work to Keith, never had a bad job, always exceptional work. I recommended him to a friend and also his buddy, they sent their guns in to Keith and the work that was done was not up to snuff for Keith's normal work. One of the guys had a choke opened and the muzzle was all buggered up. Sent it back, was fixed up some, but you could still see the damage. This was just before Keith retired. I'll bet Keith didn't do the work, perhaps......someone else?
Again, sorry about your guns, what a shame and let down. Thanks for posting.
Best!
Greg
