Perhaps the best thing to do would be to post pictures of the work in question, maybe not give your opinions of the workmanship up front but let the discussion form its own opinion.

My philosophy on having work done by any craftsman is that I expect it to be done better than I could do it myself. That being said....I have sent Parkers to a large well known shop and paid a premium for work that I was immediately disappointed with. I got a quote for a proper fix, after I waited my turn and paid the high price, I received the gun to find a half assed fix and was told that was the best they could do. They went for the easy fix, rushed through other parts of the job, and failed to even address another issue. The only thing that was as promised was the price.

I'm glad to share my experiences with my friends, but I'm hesitant to announce it publicly. On the other hand, I would certainly like to know if anyone had a bad experience with a smith before I sent a gun to them.
