Good points NitroX and no offense taken.

I'm sitting on a stool in the corner of the classroom with a pointy hat on.

Many of the details were in writing yet this still transpired. The distance between Maine and Texas made this more problematic. I've used out of state gunsmiths and been more than happy in the past.

No offense intended to the guys out there that do good conversion work but I think that when/if I can afford to buy a DR it will be from someplace where I can see it, hold it, and return it should the need arise. At least Cabela's is taking back the Sabatti's or making it right.
