A fella I know bought a DR from this guy that was supposedly one of his personal guns. It turned out to have overstressed rifling, and the barrels were BENT (J. J. had to straighten them). Some of the ammo he had been shooting came with the gun. On slugging the bores, they were clearly the wrong diameter bullets! Another fella I know had a nice pre-war American double shotty restocked and a loose rib relayed by this guy. The stock was nothing to crow about, and he got the rib back on just as straight as a mountain highway. Caveat Emptor.
