I pretty much avoid badmouthing any company on the interwebs, but will respond if asked in person. In the same vein, I have been bitten by having good work performed and then recommending someone use said service and the next work project was not good, so I tend to be a bit reserved on gunsmith recommendations as well. IMNSHO, you have two choices: I will loan you may Fat Max and you can fix it yourself, or take it to Bert at BPTactical.

I have some good tools, and a mill and even access to a lathe and some other high tech stuff, but when I had a project that had to be done right, I took it to Bert. I had seen a lot of his work in person prior, but hanging out in his shop shooting the breeze before I left, I knew I made the right choice. When I got the project back, that was confirmed. Attention to detail, insistence on doing the job right are important when the tool has mini-grenades in the OS. I have two more projects set aside that I need to spec out, and when they are ready, they are going to Bert no matter how long I have to wait.

For simple things I think he has been running up to a few weeks turn-around, but hey, we can't just clone the man.
