Jay has three gents working in the shop. His main gunsmith (Kevin) is very good. He has one individual (Frank I think) that is doing the wood work. Kevin has been working on a very complicated Three Barrel Gun Co Trap Gun project (missing floor plate) for me for over a year. Thus far project is on target and work looks great. I have had a few smaller projects/repairs done as well. One needed some additional follow up but always finished to satisfaction. Brett

Get in touch of Kip Wood at Central Michigan Gunsmithing in Mt. Pleasant. I have referred several members here to him and all have been satisfied with the work and price. You can PM me for his phone number if you want.
I gave Jay some Pre64 M70's to sell on consignment. He charged me $80 to take off a set of rings and bases and clean the receiver and he kept the rings and bases!! Never again

Thanks, Rich! I found his contact information on line.

He's trying. He's wanting to do more of the custom work and restoration but I think would do Gary's work. I have a rifle project with him now.
