Larry,
You are so right about the butchers around in just about any community. I think if you have been around guns for a while everyone has at least a couple of stories. I will not bore everyone with mine, which is what really started me building my own custom rifles and handguns. Professional gunsmithing is a tough trade to make a living wage at and is more a labor of love for 99% of the smiths in this country. My hat is off to anyone who takes up the trade, is good enough not to destroy more than they fix, and sticks with it.
Best,
Ed
