I am not a gunsmith, but I tell guys that a lot...and then offer to buy their gun for cheap. For their safety of course.

In all honesty, I think the gunsmith admittedly knew he was over his head. He said he had been trained on all of it but did not trust his abilities because that is not what he focused on. I respect that about a person when they tell you that. He even went as far as describing the processes used to bring the guns back. With that being said, he was very excited about the gun and even said if I get the clear to shoot it, he would buy the lunch, the shells and the rounds.

Just sent off for my 10g letter yesterday and dropped another in the mail this morning on the 12g I got two weeks ago, I didn't have the barrel length at the office. Reading on this forum is like drinking from a firehose but all great info.
