J. J. is one of the best in the US. Liege school and worked for Marcel Thys before coming to the US. He's a fully qualified gunmaker, as opposed to a gunsmith. I've used him a lot for double rifle work, including re-regulating. For work on top quality double guns, there are really very few in the US fully qualified to do it, and the good ones are busy as hell. When I send him a project, I do so because I want top quality work, am hard to please, and know that he'll do it exactly right the first time. I just send it, and leave him alone. He's never even come close to disappointing me. There are many that can do crappy work on fine double guns fast, but damned few that can do it right. Sure, he's taken a while with some of mine, but I remember the superb quality of the work, not how long it took.
