Had similar horror stories as the three articles below. With one differance. In order to correct Bill's incompetance I will have to spend a thousand dollars to have a new barrel installed on my rifle.\r
Brought my rifle in due to a blown out casing stuck in the chamber ( two months before deer season). He removed the casing. He said he had to remove the barrel from the receiver in order to remove the lodged casing. When the rifle was returned (after elk season) I test fired it at the rifle range. Guess what , the neck of the fired casing is now bulging. So now Bill says the rifle has to be rechambered.He said he removed the barrel and machined one thread off of the barell and recambered it. Now, when I get the gun back it is heavily scrathed. We agree to have the rifle reblued at a reduced price. Six months later after the first bluing attempt did not work. I finally demanded my rifle back. All during this time I hear excuses 1-100 why it's not finished. Now I take the rifle out and test fire it. I had to pry the bolt up. As I find out later on, this is due to excessive pressure. Took the rifle to Dennis. I watched him disassemble the barell from the receiver. The barell was not tight. Typically you have to use both hands and your body to pry it off. As the gun smith showed me, there were two threads machined off instead of one. Sorry for not being so literal. Every time I repeat this story my blood stats boiling. \r
