Friend's rifle was butchered at local shop....

[gmar]

Did I miss the part where he tried to take it back to the shop? He has tried, right?

Nobody wins in small claims court, but the lawyers on both sides.

The owner said he didn't see an issue with the work and thinks it's perfectly safe to shoot. He then said if my friend had an issue with it, he needs to take it up with the guy the shop outsourced it to.

Might not be any other option other than small claims.

I have a shiny new nickle that says the "outsourced" excuse is just that. Did your friend get a name of this "outsource" smith?

the best thing to do is have as many "expert" opinions as possible that contradict the shop owners word. small claims should be easy if they all are dissenting from the shop owners claim. keep us posted and tell him good luck. although I would go in with letters from the other gunsmiths opposing views and give the store one more chance to make it right, if he won't....definitely go to court.

I agree. He told my buddy he'd have the smith call but of course he never did.

I'm pretty sure there are no lawyers in small claims court. That's kind of the whole point...

Wow. Your buddy should be flaming their FB page and google reviews as well as the BBB.

I didn't think lawyers were allowed in small claims court? Just the litigants.

Don't know for sure though.

Biggsly, can you change that bat to an AR barrel? If so, I think we have a winner.
