[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 943345, member: 35183"] Any smith that makes 1 of the mistakes this smith made will NEVER see me again. Let alone all of them. He should be the one to KNOW how to do the job right, properly verify that he did it right, discover any issues long before he speaks to me and have a proposal on how to fix any screwups when he finds them. That is precisely why it is so hard to find a smith one can trust since there are so many shady characters out there turning your gold into garbage. One of the commercial vendors on this site also messed up a chamber on a blank I bought, would not admit to it for weeks (long past due date), and finally (more or less) refused to replace the blank in any reasonable amount of time (I waited for months) and ultimately was confrontational about the whole deal. I did get my money (and my untouched rifle) back and had to cool off for a few more months before trying it again with a different source. Shilen made me a full custom barrel as I wanted it and finished the entire job in less than 3 months which was about half the time I wasted with the first vendor, and of course it was perfect.
