alphaDelta, answering a question you asked earlier. What can you expect after having a barrel replaced.

The short answer: you can expect whatever you specified/negotiated before the build started. If you dont know what to specify - ask the gunsmith what you can expect.




Being a gunsmith myself - this is the minimum my customers can expect:

The components as spesified/suplied to be fitted/installed to a safe standard.
A gun that will safely fire either production or custom ammo - depending on what was specified.
Having the gun test fired before receiving it.
My name and a serial number engraved clearly on the new barrel.
After sales service - with a smile.

Not mimimum anymore: but they can also expect whatever was negotiated&priced before the build starts.(I contact each customer before I start and confirm what is expected/wanted.

Would not offer this info up when presenting said rifle back to the gunsmith, might be used as a 'get out of jail' card against you...

Thanks for the help and information.
the long weekend hasn’t helped in regrading to anyone getting answers.
I’m trying to give anyone and everyone benefit of the doubt. no blame ect, I’m sure it’s a simple solution. inconvenient but that’s all so far.
no bad feeling here… yet
Cheers

fingers crossed I’ll manage to talk to gunsmith or at least an email response today, I’ll keep you all updated with our progress.
thanks again for everyone’s help and input
Cheers
