Blacksmith, not gunsmith.

It was a mistake to piecemeal it out and not send him the stock, too.

Mistake? He marked the barrel with tape and an index line - respectfully, I don't see a mistake except that of the gunsmith who blew it.

Aw, heck, no need to get your blood pressure up, just thank him for trying and send him an abused pit bull as a thank you present.
Why does a man who is 50 pounds overweight complain about a 10 pound rifle being too heavy?

On top of that, he crowned that barrel by using his steady rest, The crown is now concentric with the OD of the barrel, not concentric with the Bore. Saw that right away - didn't wanna add to the misery by pointing that out..  What a moron..

I would be hot! If I ever made that king of "mistake" in my shop, I would certainly eat the cost of a new barrel!

Don't think epoxied on muzzles are legal.Correct me if iam full of chit.I know for sure breaks need to be welded if they are put on for added length to be over 16.

they just have to be epoxied on to be legal. I'm pretty sure they have to be pinned, soldered or welded, since epozy isnt "permanent"

And none of those issues are valid because the barrel is still over 18" to the bolt face...

If you want somthing done right you just have to do it yourself.
I think you may have made it to complicated and confusing with the tape and black line way to much information...

Part of the reason I got into the business myself, I figured I couldn't screw it up any worse than some of the hacks that "fixed" my guns. There are a lot of folks out there wanting top shelf work at Walmart prices. These same folks don't bat an eye when a plumber wants to charge $200 to replace a washer yet, cry foul if asked to pay the same to have a barrel installed. Those folks provide the incentive and even demand for sub-standard gun-plumbers.

There is a saying that goes way back; "The message sent was the message received", the sender is always responsible that the receiver understood the instructions correctly.
Not taking any position here, however when trying to understand why things went bad, always first look in the mirror. After that recovery is the next step and negotiation will go the furthest when coming to a resolution. IMHO

Since he crowned with a steady rest he sure as h*ll couldn't understand a piece of tape with a line marked on it. Idiot I would say.
