9 twist. I haven't asked him because I don't want to open that can of worms. Just ready to cut my losses and use somebody else.
I would have the guy who rebarreled it to a least look at it. Have him shoot it...have him fix it. That is the only way to cut your losses.
Having it rebarreled...and paying someone else to do it...is opening a can of worms.

Good advice.
I would think the original smith may like to know what's going on, it's his work and reputation.
I would if I was that guy.
You're aggravated, just take a deep breath and give him a call. IMO, he deserves the courtesy, deserves a shot at making it right.
He must have something going for him or you wouldn't have hired him in the first place.
I would seek an alternative ONLY after the above efforts fail.
