"KK is considered the go-to double gunsmith in the NW."

I put over 1,000 rounds through a set of barrels and sent them to Kearcher for a rust blue. They were returned nicely blued but with other issues....including, but not limited to, 4 inches of rib separation. He disavowed all responsibility but offered to repair them for $90. I declined his generous offer and sent them to the shop where(I was told by an employee)Turnbull sends his. They were made right again, quickly and very economically.
