1. I've had a couple of trigger jobs done by Mike Bellm and was very satisfied with the work. If I remember correctly, there was a 2 or 3 week turn around. I used his kit for the last 2 trigger jobs and was very satisfied with my work as well as with the kit he supplied.

2. Mike is very generous with information. I consider him king of T/C trigger jobs.

3. I had one of my Encore barrels cut down by Mike and an integral muzzle brake installed. As I recall, it took several months and I wasn't extremely impressed with the work. I've had a couple of barrels cut down and brakes installed by T/C and the work was good and the turn around time about 3 or 4 weeks.

4. I wouldn't go the oversized Bellm hinge pin route.

5. I don't believe the good things he says about Bergara barrels. Not that I've ever tried one but the reviews I've read have some good and too many bad reports.

6. I don't share the angst he apparently does about Encore headspace deficiencies.
