I can't speak for Fuff, but...
Okay, Dean...for about the 25th or 30th time since I've been on the forums:
I am not a gunsmith. I'm not a pistolsmith. I'm surely not anything even approaching a custom pistolsmith. I don't do bling. I don't refinish guns.
I don't build raceguns or comp guns, and I don't create "New Concepts."
I'm an armorer...a repairman...a mechanic. Period. If you bring a pistol to
me for a complete rebuild, it will look pretty much the same as it did when you brought it...therefore...I don't have anything to show off via internet photographs...mainly because I also don't have any reason to...I'm not selling anything and I'm not promoting anything. I'm not seeking fame or validation, I have no agenda and I have no reason for doing this other than trying to help some of the members and readers to resolve their own problems...and having failed that...inviting them to bring their pistols to me for repair and/or adjustment. I've done this on numerous occasions...most of which don't go public. The alternative is to send the parts of the guns that are legal to mail without the federal requirements...and it's all done on a pro bono basis...because I LIKE to do it.
I think that this is about the 3rd or 4th time that I've explained these things to you. The fact that you got through medical school is strong indication that you are of well above average intelligence and can comprehend what you read....so I either have to suspect that you aren't really reading it, or you're in denial about what I've written...or you feel that because I don't have any pretty pictures to post, that it will somehow invalidate or discredit what I write about.
I'm a repairman...Not an artiste'. Got it?
