When this happens, one has to wonder. Why is it taking this long to get back? Did something bad happen to the barrels? Were they lost, stolen, just plain can't seem to want to do them. Then you wonder, why not answer the poor owner? Why not just say what happened and why they aren't done? I have used Mike and I was very happy with the speed and work. Yet, this story keeps resurfacing and I am sure those that have a problem, it is a serious and very real problem.

Off this very topic and not about Mike. But nearly 10yrs. ago, I sent a pair of barrels to a guy to re-breech them and make into flint barrels. He won't do a thing to answer my ph. calls or my emails. He even avoids me at Friendship. Of course I have long ago now, after all the high blood pressure, just plain gave the barrels and the person up as lost cause.
