gasgunner John,
Believe me us gunsmithy types love you guys because you want it right, are willing to pay for it, and appreciate the transformation after the fact. I truly enjoy doing quality restoration, but there are not so many willing to pay the hundreds, if not thousands, it takes to get it right. One of the problems is, when I get done, you can't really tell I worked on it.

I enjoy MIchael's do it yourself approach, and particularly his patience in getting it right. These are the only ways screwed up guns get returned to normal.
