Lets all hope that you have your rifle soon and can post some photos here next week. All the talk in this thread about what should happen is all very well and good but that is not the reality of what has happened to date. The reality is that you have been left guessing. I think it should be a salutary lesson to everyone that in future we make sure that we have a written agreement / contract containing all the information about the work that is to be done and the final date by which the work will be completed. There are various scenarios which could cause disputes over the ownership of a firearm - death in testate of the smith, bankruptcy / receivership and associated seizure of the business assets by a receiver. Perhaps it would be wise to advise the police by email of the details when a firearm is sent to a Gunsmith as a extra proof to a receipt / delivery docket.
