Well my gunsmith is great! Actually too good. Enough so someone noticed and he is going to Minessota to take a job with a large corporate outfit. My congrats to Josh but now I have to start over. So anyone have any suggestions? I had at first thought about staying in Ohio then thought that was stupid. If Im sending my stuff off it really dosnt matter where it goes, Shipping wont really be a factor. The only down side is I cant just pop in on my day off and see how things are going or just get a cup of coffee and BS for a couple hours.

There is a recent thread here where good things were said about a shop in Ohio that I think is called IT&D Gun Shop. I hope someone corrects my spelling.
This shop has advertised in places like the Gun List and Shotgun News.
You know, sometimes that ain't enough. As far as the coffee goes, who in the hell would want to put in a coffee pot? And what for? When I go to the local gunshop to get something, I can see a good reason not to; all the empty styrofoam cups in the waste basket (if they even get there) and all the "gunshop rats" with a cup in hand harrassing the reeal customers.

When I worked with a retail store, I had a few guys who just liked to hang around and watch me work. Some of them worked for the government and may have simply been fascinated by the concept of productivity! Seriously, I always felt it was an integral part of the job and enjoyed the company as long as they stayed out of the way. The nice thing about the retail store setup was there was an end to the day. I did have the unlisted number! Regards, Bill.
Geez, anyone that hangs around my place for a couple of hours...... he's going to walk out a couple hundred bills lighter. In two hours, I'll find something he can't live without. LOL! Dutch.

Where are you located in Ohio? I know of a great Smith in southern Ohio. Infact, I drive about 6 hours just to let him work on my stuff. If you interested email me and I'll give you a phone number.
