I appreciate the detailed account of the so-called repairs, too. Though I have had zero problems with two Turkish brands I would never send my Dickinson to their repair facility after reading of this botched repair job. If and when it ever needs attention it will go to my go-to double gunsmith.

I'm still glad I bought the Dickinson, because the other options for under $2K 30" barreled .410 S X Ss, with ejectors, are slim. I have another one, the FAIR Iside, but it was more in the $2400 range.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
