Thanks Bob,

I don't mind paying for quality work. I know that this is a project gun and I'm prepared for it. I realize that people get busy and don't have time for all the jobs that come up, no problem there.

I'm sorry that you think that it's to much trouble to work on guns from California as doing gunsmithing for someone in California is no different than doing it for people in any other state. There are no restrictions or differences for a gunsmith to ship arms back and forth directly to a customer in California, the only restrictions for FFL's on shipping to California are for FFL's who sell guns through another FFL located in California. Then they have to verify that the receiving FFL's license is current. People here can still ship directly to gunsmiths in any other state and the gunsmith can ship it directly back to the customer with no other requirement that don't apply to any other state.
