Last Thursday took some revolvers by the gunsmith to have him evaluate the selling values. I've not been to him before though the Yelp reviews paint him as 5 star. He asked to take the side plate off to inspect the previous gunsmith's work on this one, said ok. Our overall interaction was pleasant. Came home put the toys away and went on to other things. Without the contacts on today I spotted he'd F'd up the screw heads by using the wrong sized screwdriver.
I've not had to remove the side plate and the GS that performed the work sends out immaculate pieces so this is new damage. How he even managed to not take the time to check blade fit is SMH. There is also a faint scratch on the side plate where the screwdriver slipped. Super careless.
Moral, this is like car mechanics and doctors. Plenty around but not all are good.
I can fix this but it takes my time away from other stuff. The issue I'll have is not being able to match the original GS's glass bead blast as my media is of different mesh size. I won't touch the side plate scratch. Like coming out to the parking lotto see some careless driver has left a door ding.
