Maybe recovering money put into the gun isn't his priority. It isn't even a shooter now, but, from experience, I can say that provided the barrels are safe, and the repair to the stock head is sound, the gun can be put into shooting condition. The weld buildup of the breech face will not be a substantial investment. Careful dressing down the welds, back to the the original breech surface is somewhat time consuming, but not overly complex.
The welding that Glenn Fewless did for me wasn't an enormous deposit, but dozens of tiny pits were addressed, and more than met with Breck Gorman's approval. I doubt the amount necessary to fix this Trojan won't come near the $800 Glen charged for his work. Between Breck and Glen I was delighted to bring a beautiful 1 frame BH back to life.
