Anybody with any experience with Black Diamond Gunworks? Located in Ohio and owned by Matthew Begley. I'm considering having him do some work and any feedback positive or otherwise appreciated.

Matt was a PGCA Member here but I don’t know if he still is.

He has fixed a couple Fox guns that had heavy triggers, great job, fair price and did not take that long. He has two projects of mine right now. I have not heard anything negative about Matt. SXS Ohio

Matt has done work for me. Communication is top notch and the work is equally impressive.

I have used him a few times. Very good work and communications.
He’s working on a Fox upgrade for me. So far so good.
Still trying to confirm an engraver after Gournet’s passing. Totally nothing negative on Matthews part.
Would highly recommend!

Matt hasn't done work for me but his work is extraordinary and is always willing to answer any of my million questions that I ask him. Matt's case colors look extraordinary look him up on Facebook you will not be disappointed, Steven.

Mark, surely there's someone in here that knows of a master engravor, and could put you in touch with them, Steven.

Almost wish you hadn't mentioned case coloring, gonna tempt me when I send this barrel work to him! I definitely want to look at some of his work. I'm looking for the original soft, subtle blues and purples that Parker produced. I'm not liking a lot of the recent work I've seen with all the "wheat straw" coloration

Very poor quality pics. I can only see that it is probably a Trojan but there is little to no resolution to this set of pics… sorry.

It would have looked just fine without those case colors.
