Like others, my experience with Brad was always positive and the work he did on my Parkers was exceptional. The last time I saw him was when I dropped off a set of GH barrels for bulge removal and refinishing. This was late January 2018. During the shop tour he showed me a rack of sxs barrels that were being prepped for refinishing. There must have been 20 or more sets in the rack. He told me that barrel refinishing was a big part of their business and he had a shop employee who was expert at it and, in fact, barrel refinishing was all he did.
Brad passed in March 2018 and I got a call in June that the barrels were finished. I couldn't have been more pleased, the barrels were like new again. Sadly, my later experiences were not good and filled with broken promises and excuses. It was very clear that without Brad, the shop simply lacked the expertise that we had all come to expect. RIP Brad and Lori. We miss you.
