CHUCK (and others),
I understand your frustration, but it is because you don't completely understand "GUNSMITH LANGUAGE." There is a secret code, that I will reveal....if you promise not to tell anyone.
If you know the gunsmith well, and he has done work for you in the past, you take his estimated time required (in months) and DOUBLE IT. He's not intending to lie to you, he just assumes you know the secret code.
If this is the first time you have dealt with a gunsmith, you should simply TRIPLE his time estimate.
SEE, its really quite simple...
JERRY
