Damn.. I feel so ripped off .. Well, the guy said it was hunting season and that he was overbooked with other rifles to service. HE showed me a wall of like 10 rifles. He said he would see why it woudl not taking any longer than 2 hours to fix.
I should have waited and listened to people, but I was frantic and the guy is the most popular gunsmith in the Bend/REdmond area.
The gun is in two seperate pieces, that is why I cannot follow the advice of pounding it against teh ground.. THere is a live round in the chamber and I live in close quarters to my neighbros. Even if there isa 1% chance of it going off when I bang it out, that is too much of a chance for me to take.
Yeah, I guess the guy is going to make some money out of me and I know he could have tried to force it out then and there, but oh well.. What can I do .
Its at the gunsmith, should I go and demand my gun back now? What if I cannot get that live round out of there? He said if it was going to go off it would have gone off already.. I have to admit I do feel a little nervous. I am a new to shooting rifles and I don't have any real people to assist me here. The range I go to is completely empty most of the time and nobody could give me any assistance before I stupidly detached the upper nad lower.
Since it is at the smith and he said 1 week , should I just not wait? If it goes past 1 week I will tell him I want my gun back and I will find another smith. I wasn't planning on shooting this week anyway. I do feel a bit pissed he could have not just got the bullet out there.. I am sure he could have done it in 20 minutes..
He claims he will need to take the barrel off and do all kidns of other things, because the bolt is sticking out and jammed in the chamber. I dunnon.. I am ignorant , pardon me. Think I am stuck now.
I think the guy is going to get $100 out of me for this procedure. I could always use a more experienced person to help plead my case in this matter, but I doubt anyone heere would call the gunsmith and talk with him on my behalf. I felt like a dummy going in there, not sure what to do. I have had gunsmiths make a fortune on me in the past.. They can be unscrupulous.
