When I started reading this thread with all the talk of black SUV's pulling up out back, I got the impression that the businessman in question had somehow been stealing customer's guns and selling them out the back door of his shop or something. As I read further, it appears he is just another failed small-businessman and has not paid his rent for some reason. If he has been slow finishing up promised work for customers, so what; so has every other gunsmith I've ever employed to do work for me. I don't know the guy but I'm sorry an apparently talented gun-guy may be out of business...Geo
