I once had 7 guns on consignment & the owner on the store passed away. Everything in the store went into the probate court. It took 2 years to get my guns back. And to get them back they had to re-register them back to me at about $60/gun.

Victor, I don't think most people would think a surety bond would be necessary for a repair on a shotgun. I sympathize with anyone who is victimized by a gunsmith. I have been in that situation before, lost one gun and almost lost others. I think a trip to Ilion would be in the cards for anyone with guns at Del Gregos. Not because of their reputation, which is good, but because of the time period.

To me, there is a big difference between someone who just dies with no notice or anything, ie: gets struck by lightning or a bus, or any other way, fill in the blank. Vs. the case of a known serious illness, it is in everyones best interest to make arrangements for the return of customers possessions and clear them out of the backlog. There is no excuse for sitting on the stuff.

This is a pretty serious topic, for sure! We are all human, so can die in an instant without notice.
Add to that, most of the really good gunsmiths are pretty old, and a lot closer to that inevitable instant. Sounds like a discussion worth having. |

My go to gun dealer and ffl here had a stroke recently and a friend had some guns on consignment with him. Made for a tough situation. If all else fails and it were me, I'd call the ATF. Granted, they may create a new set of problems
