Shaver seems to be the man on this job.  He has done many including one for me when I used to play that game.  After his work it performed flawless.  What is it doing wrong that it needs fixed, or it just the typical gritty long trigger they came with?

Last person on here that sent a gun to him it took almost forever to get it back and they had to threaten to have him arrested to get it I think. I don't think I'd ever trust him again after reading that horror story.

Wow, now that is info I am sorry to hear.  I know he is always way back logged on work, but that said have always had much better service than that.  Service might be better when its dropped off in person, my commute to him is not so far I cant drive. ???

I'd find and read that story first. I think the subject was: I can't find my gunsmith. or some such.
