Mike went through a period of "nothing out, no explanation or contact". The bad part was no explanation was given. Maybe he has something to say about that dark period by now. He seems to be back in business, for now.

For what its worth, about 12 years ago I sent Mike (after talking to him on the phone) a pair of 16ga VHE barrels to reblue, relay short rib, lengthen cones, and open chokes to Q1 and IC. He went "dark" and it took 8 months to get the barrels back, even with half a dozen phone messages and e-mails. While the chokes and cones were done perfectly, the rib relay, while serviceable, was not done as well as I expected (gaps in the solder), and the blue was done well, but he didn't polish off the sides and bottoms of the lugs. It seemed to me the job had been "hurried" to get it out, even with the 8 month delay.

That said, it seems as if Mike is back in the groove and doing excellent, timely work, based on what others are saying, and I hold no grudges for the problems I had long ago. We all go through tough times and I would try him again. But not with an AH.

I sent my BSS 12g to Mike about 3-4 years ago to open those full/x-full chokes to LM/LM. Had the gun back in maybe a week and he did a great job for a very fair price.
