I took a rifle to him. Bud Hopson's shop was closed at the time. I fell and broke the screws off holding the mounts on. It took him about a year before I received the rifle back. When I did, the barrel was worse than hand tight. It was loose! I tightened it with a pipe wrench so folks at the range would notice the gouges in the barrel. When they asked about it, I told them which 'smith did it.
Eventually I had good ol' Bud Hopson put a new barrel on it.
