I guess I'm naive, but I don't understand why it's so hard to schedule work and be up front about it. I had a loose rib on one of my guns and called a well-known smith about it; he really didn't even want to listen to me, just said "Send it to me; I have 4-5 of those to do and whenever I get around to it I'll do them all at once. No, I don't know when that will happen." Can you imagine an auto mechanic saying, "Park it here and whenever I get around to it I'll take a look." I sure couldn't get away with that in my business. Seems there's a bit of a prima donna syndrome at play when it comes to gunsmiths. And no, he didn't get my business, but I don't think he cared.
