Yeah, I thought it was a pretty ridiculous statement, but not knowing enough about the design of the action, had no way of countering him. RGK really gave me the “mic dropping” response to him. As I said, he’s done a very fine job on the firearms I’ve brought to him and I just wanted to educate him, not fire him.
The trouble is gunsmiths are given credit for being knowledgeable about all types of firearms and that's just an impossibility. But it is the Smith's responsibility to tell a customer when he doesn't know something so as not to lead people astray
