Bill,

If you'd seen the horror story work done on a gun of mine by Kearcher you'd stop recommending him.


Larry,

Go with Merrington in Texas, he'll charge a little more than Bill's boy Keith but you get what you pay for. I went bargain basement with Kearcher one time and had to have all the work corrected by another smith, it was truly something anybody calling themself a gunsmith should have been ashamed of.

Thanks for the other side of the story, Destry. All information is meant to be put into a pipe and smoked. By the way, tell us about your latest "hunting" adventure, which I understand is quite the adventure. We haven't heard from you for a while.

There was no adventure.

We got within 45 minutes of Buenos Aires, they closed the airport due to volcanic ash, we got diverted to Santiago Chile, spent three days there waiting, never got anywhere, finally gave up and came home.

I should have been hunting today and coming home tomorrow, instead I'm at work. Such is life.....
