[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 263988, member: 2215"] You can have all degrees you want, it still doesn't make that person a "smith" It takes time (years) and a good reputation of putting together top notch rifles to "qualify". Your past customers are the ones that test you on your skills as a craftsman. Pass the test with them and the "good word" will travel like wild fire in your specific field of expertise. I'm sure there are a ton of really good small time riflesmiths out there I've never even heard of. In the same token there are some big name "smiths"who do half *** work. New customers only know of "The Name" but not the quality that preceeds them. Once your in this game a while you'll find out who really knows their **** and whose just blowing smoke up your ***.
