Anvil,
I have talked to him, but he's very quiet. I don't think it would be possible to judge his craftsmanship based on conversations. I haven't seen any of his work, but then I'm a real newbie on the repair front, so I don't think I'm qualified to judge. I would need the gunsmith to inspect and clean an inherited 40+ year-old Cooey Model 60, that looks like it's rarely if ever been cleaned and maybe a trigger job on a CZ-85 Combat.
Like I said, I have no experience with gun repair, so I'm really counting on referrals. So far (based on a search of this site) Lock and Load seem good and to a lesser extent maybe K&S Arms are worth checking out.
Everyone, please keep the responses coming!
Thanks.
