He put together my 280 Mountain Rifle. Work was great, fast, and price was fair. He's one of the good guys!

Mr. Coleman told me he had a real good 308 reamer. I have to agree!

When I tried to contact him for a Wby rebarrel job last year he would not return my e-mails, voice messages or answer the phone. He finally responded on a p.m. and would not accept the job. I never said or did anything to provoke him to such a degree. I wrote him off. Mickey had some medical issues last year & spent some time in the hospital & recuperating at home. Its possible you may have tried to contact him then.......

he's done three for me...one waiting to be picked up right now. Here's a .223 walking varminter he did on a Model 7. Great guy, would not hesitate to recommend him. ![[Linked Image]](http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p151/Steve_NO/coyoterifle001.jpg)

I'd be much happier if someone refused to do some work if they didn't have the time rather than take it on and let it sit. Medical popping up is totally understandable as is life. Mickey is like the rest of us and hasn't had a perfect ride in life either.
If he refused then, and you haven't found anyone give him another call.

He's building a custom .308 for me right now from a stainless 700 .308 Mountain Guide. Spoke to Mickey today and he already has the action blueprinted and was waiting on the #3 Douglas barrel to arrive this afternoon. He'll be bedding the action into the Ti stock. Wanted to step up one diameter from the Mountain Rifle barrel contour, which is equivalent to a #2 Douglas.

I hope he can keep our stuff separate!  I'd hate for him to send you my faux NULA!!  Clay

If your wanting "a step up from mountain contour" I'm thinkin the #3 is a real big step. Its like a magnumb contour(Mickey has put two Douglas #3 on actions for me). The #2 Douglas would be closer to a sporter not mountain rifle. Will be a super nice build for shure. Mickey does a great job.

Mickey built this one for jds, although I enjoy it now. I had to use his pics, though, since I don't have any of my own. 25-284 and currently wears a 3.5-10 VX-III: ![[Linked Image]](http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f206/bgold1/Remington%2025-284/25-284-3.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f206/bgold1/Remington%2025-284/25-284-2.jpg)

That's good to hear, I wanted a sporter-magnum profile so sounds perfect. Have more than enough rifles with mountain rifle contour barrels and been leaning toward more weight out front.
Really likin' the #5 Broughton on my GAP Non-Typical .280 in the McM Edge stock. It is defintely a heavier contour barrel and loves the Berger VLD Hunting pills.

It's my habit to return calls and e-mails as soon as I learn of them. Can't imagine what went wrong here. My apologies.
