I have used him. He did a great job with a reasonable price. I would not hesitate to use him again. Email him to find out the best time to talk to him since he is teaching gunsmithing at the college.

The issue is that his phone number is disconnected and he has not answered any of my emails for the past month. He is no longer employed at Piedmont Tech.

He has my action, stock, barrel and bottom metal and is supposed to be doing a build.

Try reaching him through Ebay.

I know his wife was having some serious health issues and he was having to care for her. That may be part of the situation.

Yes, I was aware of his wife's issue, but he has never not gotten back to me. (I know a double negative)

Thanks, I will try the ebay route.

Yes, he may be having more issues with his wife that has him occupied. I would trust him. He always eventually called or emailed.

Well, it is not looking good, but all numbers that I had, are shut off, and no one at the college has been able to get a hold of him. There is on part time GS that was doing some work for him, I will try and get a hold of him on Wed.

Thanks, to all those that have provided information.

I got an email from Jack this morning, so he's back in action. If you need his numbers pm me or use his old email address; that's where the email originated.

One more chapter in the sad story of Jack Hamrick and his "gunsmithing". I sent him an M48 action to barrel, chamber, and crown, then drill/tap/bend bolt. The drill/tap/bend bolt went OK. The bolt won't close on a go gauge, and the chamber wasn't chamfered properly so rounds don't load from the magazine. His phone voice mail plays "full" and he won't answer emails or voice mails to his home. ON top of all this when I sent the barreled action back to him for repair at his suggestion, he never p/u from the post office and they returned it to me a month later. Sad.
