Good to hear this worked out. Brings back some of my respect for Yvan. Even the very best smiths will make mistakes, it is all about how they deal with them.
The problem with gunsmiths is they can get there accreditation out of a cracker jack box(online course)
Doesn't mean they are any good.
Its not like it is in Europe, where it takes years, and at the end they are true craftsmen.
That generally applies to EVERY discipline not only gunsmiths.
I would imagine he was looking at this thread, only problem with that is, the only way to get good work from him is to get bad work and post it on AO. Lol
