Many of the items listed GB suggest a visit to the above before using the item. What is your definition of a "Competent Gunsmith"?

    Competent Gunsmith??

    Ask the gunsmith how many Mauser bolts he offset down for scope use?
    {Hint....if he is younger than 60 yo, don't bother.} ;)

    Re: the OP

    That's a "lawyer" item, gets the seller off the hook if it blows up (and you didn't take it to a Smith).
    They don't really care if the Smith is competent as long as they have an out as far as a potential law suit is concerned.

    The word "competent" when used along side many occupations can turn into an oxymoron very quickly! :o

    Competent gunsmith in the above context is anyone that will take the legal flak in the sellers place if the gun goes Kaboom or such
