I also have that policy AND also add a 'no turn-screw' requirement.. There are some a$$holes out there that are looking to swap/steal hard-to-find internal parts...not to mention bunging up screws/pins looking inside for wear,etc.....
Also snap caps can help tell alot about pin-hits.
I can understand not wanting the local 'smith turning screws, thus my policy (discussed with sellers) of sending the gun to a doublegun 'smith of known skill. I generally use Paul Hodgins since he is near my home. If you won't let someone like Paul turn a screw on a gun, well then I'm not buying from you.
There is that little detail of implying I am a thief that kind of digs at my opinion too.
