I have used him several times for choke opening, forcing cones, stock bending and other work. Had some trouble with an LC Smith that he "bobbed" at my request. (long story but it was a gift from a generous benifactor on the board for my daughter) There was a issue with the rib seperating but I sent it back to him and he fixed it gratus. We want "craftsmen" to work on our guns and we complain when they do not operate like mass producers. I will use him again. JMO.
