[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1914719, member: 24284"] David, anything to keep from having the local gunsmith fix it. It completely escapes me, guy'll have their 'prize' re-barreled, re-stocked, coated instead of blued but for a simple repair won't have someone whos' work it is, make the repair. I did run my shop full time for about 10yrs. I got tired of parts showing up in a Tupperware dish or a Zip-Loc bag, those that would take a 1/2hr to an hour of my time (while I had pleanty of work stacked-up behind me) then decide they didn't want the work done, those that thought I should drop what I'm doing when they walk in and 'fix' their gun while they watched,,,,,,, and It just drives me nuts to have someone watching/breathing down the back of my neck and asking questions while I'm trying to concentrate on my work. Now, it's a part time gig, I pick and choose what work I want,,,,,, the machine shop is a lot friendlier place to be! The mis-information about triggers and safeties is getting deep in this thread to the point that it's a waste of bandwidth, so, time for me to leave it. Good Luck, Red [/QUOTE]
