I've had some absolutely horrible work done on doubles over the years by local folks. Once had a german gun barrels that were left in the rust blue solution for apparently a few days to the point where they came out pitted all to hell. Then the smith carded them a few times and said they were what they were and that they arrived deeply pitted to start with (which there weren't in the least). Anyway, lesson learned on that one and a few others. I don't mind waiting in the que because quality work takes time and looks great in the end. Crappy work is just crappy work and it stands out like a thumb that's been cut off. I would however like to have a realistic time table provided up front. Falling into the FWIW, category, I've only one time had one gun returned prior to the up front provided delivery date.
