Charley, the barrel that Douglas replaced for me I chambered it and fitted it at no cost to the customer



Mickey,

I remember reading about that before. It doesn't change the fact that the cost of replacing a barrel is still borne by someone. There aren't a whole lot of smiths that would do what you did, which probably explains why you have such a stellar reputation and have an easy time pushing Douglas barrels.

By guaranteeing the work to that extent, you assume the risk that would otherwise be shouldered by the consumer.

(Please tell me that didn't just push my project to the back of the line <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />)
