A word about DPCD...

I sent a ML "project to Tom a month or so ago. I had asked around and nobody wanted to do a barrel replacement on a long-discontinued White ML.

Well, the rifle arrived back home today, and it looks for all the world like a brand new rifle. Tom had to remove the old barrel, contour the new one so it fit the stock, drill and tap/thread the new barrel for the breach plug, affix the ramrod thimbles to the new barrel, re-attach the front sight, and then Ceracoat the rifle.

In a word, he is a master (but I knew that after looking at Rich's rifle that Tom did the stock work on).

Many thanks, sir. You did me a huge favor, and your talents are incredible.

My best, sir.

That is excellent news! I've a white I purchased from you a few years back that I've yet to touch. Cerakote sounds like a wonderful option for late season muzzleloader hunting in the northeast.

You've a PM incoming, sir.

I too have benefitted from Tom's experience and expertise, he is indeed a good man and a pleasure to do business with.

Seems to be pretty much all of it. Stock work, customs, barreling. Lots of examples of his work on these forums.

Tom rates A++ in my book too!

He is one of not enough true full service gunsmiths around these days.

I cannot compliment him too highly.

Wanted to add my 2 cents worth. I have had several dealings with dpcd and each one has been a pleasure.

Most recently I contacted him to cut a shoulder and thread a barrel. It was for a P14 and I HATE cutting those square threads. He not only cut the shoulder and threads but coned the breach as well. Over and above what I expected.

I have spoken to him on the phone on several occasion. I hope our paths cross where I can thank him in person and shake his hand.

Tom has done work for me which I have commented on here before as well as sharing a compliment paid to him by Dennis Olson.

I enjoy Tom's patience and knowledge and have a second project going with him as well. A really nice guy to deal with.
