[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2336612, member: 42157"] I can't speak to your experience and I don't have a lot with "custom" gunsmith's. I have only used three and all are nothing like you posted. One of them I know well and talk with him often. My experiences are. 1. They will share their beliefs and results if your design they feel is not the best one. If they feel it is unsafe or flat wont work (able to put together) they turn down the work. If a customer insists on the safety issue or wants are so flawed they turn down the work. That has not always been that way but dang sure for the last 10 years or so. 2. Absolutely not true. A quality barrel maker would never "waste" any time. They are making a profit, increasing use base, and greatly increasing their marketing. 3. All depends.....for me....yep they are months out. For some other guys who go to them....they would get **** fast turn around. I'm a nobody on work amount as some are very, very, very, good customers. [/QUOTE]
