Glad to hear it got resolved.

Good on him for owning up to his mistake and refunding the money.

Good to hear this worked out. Brings back some of my respect for Yvan. Even the very best smiths will make mistakes, it is all about how they deal with them.

Doesn't mean they are any good.
Its not like it is in Europe, where it takes years, and at the end they are true craftsmen.
That generally applies to EVERY discipline not only gunsmiths.

I would imagine he was looking at this thread, only problem with that is, the only way to get good work from him is to get bad work and post it on AO. Lol

I appreciate that he owned up to this, and made it right, says a lot about a person.

Yvan is a stand up guy. I am glad to hear he has attempted to resolve the issue. We all make mistakes sometimes.

Wow. I did mine myself--first time ever even disassembling a rifle all the way.... Suddenly the flaws I see in mine don't seem so bad!

Going to close this thread, it seems to be mostly sorted out between the 2 parties.
