My buddy has been trying to contact Mike Orlen for some time now by phone and email and never gets an answer. Last time I dealt with him he picked up the phone and I told him what I needed and he did the job in no time. He still doing barrel work?

I have used Kirk Merrington for years for barrel work. Great work, timely, honest and a great guy.

Les with Diamond Gunsmithing, NY. You want to make sure they use a piloted reamer on doubles. Dont want to loose convergence or change POI by accident. Ive seen a few jobs which did and then the real fun begins.

I would think that this time of year, Gunsmiths get pretty booked up.
