I have not. But, over the years...I have heard uniformly good things about their work. Admittedly, I haven't heard anything in the last couple years, one way or the other. So...I can't say what their most recent work has been like.

Yes. Ron is one of the premier mechanics of these things. He even was able to get the Chinese knockoffs to run properly. He always has enough gov't contract work to keep busy that he is able to be exclusive and choosy. But now that SCAR17Hs and M110s have been supplanting the M14s in the pipeline that kept him busy for so long, he might finally be slowing down.

I had him do his magic on a parts gun using one of his dual-lug receivers back in the 90s. It cost, and that hurt,...but it shot sooooooo very nice.

Just had him work on a project.

Ron and Andy have forgotten more about the M14 than I will likely ever know.

Service, quality and turn-a-round time for work has always been exemplary.

I used to go to 17 gun shows a year in the 90's and whenever I saw Ron and his old lady they were treated like royalty.
