I'm in the middle of a "screaming" bad gunsmith experience right now. Just plain shoddy work. This smith has royally screwed up a 12 ga. CHE for me after assuring me he was skilled at the desired work and competent to do the job. I was good with the 21 months to do the work and the price asked (he should not have promised 7 to 8 months as he did) if the job had been correctly done. It was not. On my first inspection about 14 or 15 months in I informed him in no uncertain terms this was not the results we had talked about and I absolutely expected. I left the gun expecting the issues to be corrected.
The gun shipped back to me mid December, my first chance to shoot it was over the holidays. VERY not good. I notified him immediately but was far too mad to have conversation at that time and indicated I would call him this coming week.
I would sincerely hate for any of our members or, for that matter, ANYBODY to end up in my current situation.
So, what is the consensus here on a photo spread, a history on the work to be done, and naming names? All thoughts and opinions welcome.
