I've been seeing knives, rifles and pistols that he's made for several years now. He's legit for sure. Excellent craftsman. As for not making the barrel, it is common for most contemporary makers to just buy a barrel. The House Brothers made a rifle completely from scratch, lock, stock and barrel a few years ago, and it was a very big deal.
the last pistol had a lot of error on the lock inletting. I'd expect to see that on home built rifles by rookies IMO.
Interesting to know.
