I trust what Parris says about Andy, am very glad my gun is no longer in his shop, and sympathize with the victims of his recent bad choices. It's a shame that they now have to take extraordinary steps to recover their guns. I hope Andy can somehow recover and put things right with those who've sent him their guns and money for work not completed.

I had only one transaction with Andy, a couple years ago. He reblued barrels and frame of my M-21, did a first-rate job in reasonable time, and at much lower cost than I got from Galazan's. When I carelessly scratched the barrels with my watchband my first time afield with the gun several months later, he took them back and made them good as new without charging me.
