Thank GOD,Ive only had 1 bad experience with a gunsmith that didn't live up to his end in building a custom rifle for me.I've had EXTREMELY GOOD LUCK with these Gunsmiths,Randy Selby,DOC'S Gun Shop and my latest is also now a FRIEND.Karl at Kampfeld Custom.He makes the building of a rifle a complete pleasure AND THE FINISH PRODUCT IS 2ND TO NONE.
I hope you get this situation fixed to your satisfaction.I would request my rifle back and have 1 of the many FINE barrel companies out their make a new barrel for me.
