[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 3077510, member: 25831"] I have been burnt a few times recently from so-called gunsmiths. Shameful when you take them your hard earnings and they let you down. My first full custom back in 2020 went this way. Was told by people I trust, he had done good work for them and their competition rifles. Took a box of parts to him. Rifle was beautiful and shot very well. I was happy then got bored and traded the rifle. New owner found the barrel was not threaded correctly. First two threads were tight and all that kept it together the rest were loose. I would never have known unless it lost torque from lots of firing. Not a cheap barrel ether. Felt terrible and tried to get it back to make it right. Tried to pay the gunsmith that had it being corrected but wouldn't take the money. [/QUOTE]
