Talking out of class? A story that funny won't be suppressed. That is the hard part of the good old inter-web, you never know who know,s who. By the way I own an orriginal Colt Lightning Rifle in 38-40, and I am quite good at working on it. I bought it in Urrulu Bolivia for $30.00 U.S.

Mikes lucky that wasn't his work, Because he would have never lived that down with me, I like to give other smiths the chance to correct their mistakes but you can bet
your ass, you're going to catching some elephant dung over it.
I warned him it was a loaded question, hell it couldn't be an unloaded question the extractor dont work hahahhahaha :sarcastichand:

lol. seriously though, Mr. Durning, I dont know how long youve been doing this stuff, so you might realize this, and I dont mean to do anything but provide a little insight from my point of view, but I cant tell you how many times Ive been told that some famous smith was the last guy who touched or worked on a malfunctioning gun. The simple fact is that very few guys I see are unwilling to fess up that they were the ones who did some elephant dung on top of someone elses work. Or their buddy who borrowed the gun for a year, or for a hunting trip or all they did was replace some springs, or just hit it with a stone or just put on an adjustable gas block, or shock buff... etc etc.
Its like House on the fox medical drama; his catch phrase is "People Lie". Its often no different in any other line of work. You have two choices when faced with potential work; accept it, do it the right way, and scrap whatever abortion "somebody" fixed, or refuse the work. Guns dont have a hidden radio transmitter or data logger. Its either right or its wrong, and I cant think of a smith out there (and believe it or not, I know more than a few-Im just not much of a name dropper) that would appreciate your inquiry as to whether something they allegedly did was done in error. The simple fact is that youll never know if someone messed up a gun, and as much as you want to believe someone, you cant prove it. So get used to writing up "do not fire" sheets for folks to sign and send them on their merry way, or dive in and get it straight.
Heres another tip; not that Im some old grey bearded son of JMB's butler or anything, the more work I decline, the more profit I make. super counter intuitive, I know, but Im not kidding.
also, Shall I have Kurt send an invitation to you for our next redneck beer drinking soiree?
