Comments from Satisfied Customers..........
I just received my 20 gauge model 37 you restored and reblued for me. I just wanted to let you know I am delighted with your work. The weapon looks like new and far exceeds my expectations considering the poor condition it was in. It is nice to know that you can still get quality craftsmanship done at a reasonable cost.. please feel free to use me as a reference!!
"Thanks for the nice job you did on this gun! Looks great"
"Back in 2001, you did a resoration job on my M-37. I love the gunsmithing work you did on it"
"I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE REMARKABLE COMMENTS MY FATHER HAS BEEN SAYING ABOUT YOU. HIS NAME IS ..... AND HE LIVES IN DES MOINES, IOWA. YOU HAVE HIS ITHACA WITH THE HEADSPACE PROBLEM, AND IT IS A RELIEF TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE STILL A FEW GOOD PEOPLE LEFT OUT THERE, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, BEST REGARDS, JB"
