I have been very lucky in my few interactions with gunsmiths. I have used Turnbull twice, once to do a full wood and metal restoration on a badly worn AH Fox and I also had them recase a Parker Repro. Both jobs were completed within the estimated time and right on the budget. I have had Abe Chamber do several repairs on rifles and shotguns for me, again, all jobs were completed on time and budget with excellent work. I just today picked up another Fox that I had Brian do his magic on the stock. The results were fantastic and he completed the job a little earlier then he estimated when I dropped the gun off. I think the one common thread is that all the folks I have used are top of the game in the gunsmithing business. I was luckily in that all my work was completed within the estimated time frame, but more importantly, all the work was first class. I think the key is working with the best, and trust that they will get your work done as soon as they can to the best of there ability.
