Regarding identifying the gunsmith, I don't know the ins and outs from a moderator - that is, by naming names and being specific about the circumstances, might I be either banned or open to some sort of civil suit by the gunsmith?
Regarding the gunsmith's location, he is in Worth County, Missouri. Worth County, in extreme north-northwest Missouri, has a population of perhaps 2000. I suspect there is only one 60-year-old gunsmith in the county who might be known for working on traditional lever action rifles.
Regarding a Small Claims Court suit here in Missoula County, knowing I will win on the merits - having a first-class digital trail - I must find out whether I can do this and have the result enforced as best such civil suits are enforced. I do not want a meaningless gesture as the result.
