The guy at NLR apprenticed under the fellow from Berryville. Since NLR is much nearer to me than Berryville, I dropped a couple of rifles off to him when I got back into ML'ing in late 2021-early 2022.
The first rifle was an original that needed better fitting tenon pins. He drilled these HUMONGUS (WHY?!?!) holes, and ended up blowing a quarter sized chunk out of the forend. Instead of calling and telling me this, he SUPER GLUED it back into place, and never said a word about it. It didn't go down flush, it is raised all the way around the chunk. He wasn't going to say A THING if I hadn't noticed it upon picking it up. I saw it just moments before I was about to leave. Our transaction had already completed.
The other rifle was a traditions Shenandoah. I had a replacement barrel that came without tenons. The dovetails were already cut, it just needed tenons fit and drilled. When I got home and cooled off after the other rifle, I decided to disassemble the Shenandoah and check the work I could not see. Half of one barrel tenons was just completely missing! The piece that goes in the dovetail was broken in half. So instead of a T, it was an L. It was installed like that! Shoddy work, less than stellar ethics. For me, never again.
