Tom can you back any of the "bad work", up... ? I just picked up two guns from Brad on my way south and dropped two off, I have had very good results from Brad and to slam a man's reputation with one short sentence esp. since this is only your second post I question your post. Have I had Brad redo a job, sure have and it was done properly and with a smile no questions asked. If you want to send me a pm off the board please do. Eric

Eric,

I'll back you up on this one. I've dealt with my share of gunsmiths and then some. Brad in my opinion is one of the best if not the best that I've had dealings with. He run's a very professional business that does excellent work.

Until he does something to change my mind he'll keep getting my work. He has two complete full gun restorations plus re-doing the black & white finish on a set of Parker Damascus barrels for me in his shop at present. I guess you could say I trust him!

I sure don't like the idea of a single sentence knocking him without some proof backing it up!

I think the gunsmith issue is settled business. Now for some pictures of the BHE 20!

Turnbull gets thumbs up, attention to detail.
