[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1088246, member: 2736"] There are a lot of GOOD gunsmiths on this site and in defense of them Something has to be said for those that DO honor there commitments. We do hear about good ones but not as often as Bad ones. (I hope this does not mean there are a lot more bad ones than good ones). When going into a build/Partnership with a gunsmith, a certain rapport should be developed and a good plan for parts and deliveries. This normally takes several conversations (Preferably in person) but sometimes this is not possible so the phone is the best means to convey your goals and wishes. Remember it should be a partnership. A good client is just as important as a good smith when it comes to a good experience,and once that trust is developed It should be a very good/fun endeavor. Lots of Gunsmiths enjoy what they do and can really get into a build if they have a good client. but if Gun smithing is just a job and the client is unorganized or unfriendly there is little hope that the build wild be fun. There is nothing like hearing from a client about how well they like the rifle and how good it shoots to an interested gun smith that loves his work. Repeat business is one of the best ways to tell if the Smith/client relationship is good. Remember the 6 "Ps" of any job , Proper Planning Prevents P!&& Poor Performance. Just My Opinion and on behalf of the Good Smiths. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
