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

[Gabriel42]

Good news! My buddy met with the owner of the shop and the armorer and they agreed to replace of the parts and refund the money. The armorer was very apologetic and said he has since met with another gunsmith to learn more about proper procedures. They're suppose to order parts tomorrow. I'll update everyone once everything is in and the deal has been completed.

Woohoo. Best case scenario.

That's great news for your friend, and glad it all worked out!

I'm glad it appears to be working out, but how does an armorer not know proper procedures? Hell, a quick Google search would have given them more than enough knowledge to realize that they were about to do something really stupid.

sounds like a good turn out and a perfect reason to troll post elsewhere.....to offer my gunsmithing services of course.

Glad to hear. Hope it all works out.

Kinda what I was thinking too. Sounds like an excuse to me.

Glad it all turned out well, but I think I'd still be looking for gunsmithing services elsewhere.

Actually concerned a "armorer" had to be educated on how that wasn't proper procedure.

this is a good result. Obviously I have more to say about it, but it would not be helpful in the end so I digress.

Please let us know if this doesn't resolve itself as you have reported.
