Well, I guess you'll just have to press him with the BBB and the Atty. Genl's office.
If he had been doing good work, then puts something like this out, I wonder if he may be drinking, having psychological problems, etc. A call from him letting you know there was a problem and not just sending out a horrible piece of work, raises my suspicion.
Generally gun folks are pretty up standing and straight, at least in my experience.
I think we all feel your pain. Hope you get some relief.
Hang in there.

Edited to add, if you get the itch to do another such project, check out Jim Clark in Shreveport. He does some great work, turning shotguns into double rifles.
