Default Who knows Bill Schwarz (and why is he so inexpensive) ?

Everyone love his work?
Anyone care to ponder why his pricing is so reasonable?

He fits some Winchester model 21 barrels and the price was good. Very pleased with his work.
Some guys are good, others are fast and a few are good and fast. Work was not cheap but was more than fair. Also was turn pretty darn quick and was done right.

reminds me of the "pricing" guide we used for projects

you can have it fast
you can have it good
you can have it cheap

pick two

Bill has done a lot of work for me over the years. I've always been pleased with the job and the price.

I call him.."Dr Bill"..He has a set of 16 GH O frame barrels to refinish as we speak. He fit a spare set of Parker barrels on another gun..and work was perfect..He WAS a well kept secret !!!.....

Seriously..Bill is a craftsman. No computer..and I've never had a cell #...?? Works at his own speed..and he'll call if he needs to talk..or..has gun ready to ship. My Trojan 20 was hard opening. He replaced both hammer springs..and I had it back in about 4 weeks. Can't beat that..As far as prices..His damascus barrel refinish price was same as last time I talked with Bachelders..
