Leave the man alone.... how can we get any work done with new customers?
He has done a rebore on a bad T/C Renegade, a barrel reline on an 1880 SPringfiel TD carbine, and a reline of a Springfiel 1871 for me in the past.
It takes a while. I had to love his attitude on the 1871. It didn't shoot to point of aim so I left him ammo. He "tweaked" the barrel by a bit of pressure using the rafters in his shop until it shot to p.o.a.
