...old ed's sleeving of these 12 ga parker gh barrels was not cosmetically prefect. but it did not cost $2000, either....
I don't usually get involved in threads like this but with this comment, I feel compelled.
Working down to a price is never an excuse for poor workmanship.
If the client can't afford the job then the job shouldn't be done, period.
Every job that a gunsmith does becomes part of their reputation, which is far more important (to me at least) than making a buck.
To then put one's name upon such work is unfathomable to me.
