Hey Bill,

I have had trouble in the past with some specialized 'smiths. There will be nothing "appealing" to any outcome. The last time I had this happen, I contacted the local police in his area and the local ATF office. I filed a complaint with the police department of a theft of property thru failure to provide service. The ATF was most enthused to take up the case. This is one of the biggest complaints they field.

Good luck.
