It means exactly what it says. We believe Scott's is very expensive, It's simply our opinion. And, as above, "quality work" means a "long wait'. We believe we said the same thing...in some cases a very long time.

As for advice, yes, Chad does provide advice when asked(in most cases), and that is good, and it was on this forum. Credit given where Credit is due.
We believe that has no bearing on the cost of work, or the length of time for said work. There is no personal attack here; it is simply our observation of a business practice.

"We" who else are you speaking for?

What are you claiming is "expensive" site an example compared to any shop offering similar service. What's YOUR experience as a Gunsmith?

Looks like you are pulling your opinion out of thin air.

Scott's did the sights on my girls 1911. The turn around was around 2 weeks. She wanted an adjustable rear sight and fiber optic front. The time was much faster than we expected and price wise we have no complaints. Given the fact that it was a RIA Tactical with non standard dovetails I feel they went above and beyond.

"We" is simply a literary expression used in personal prose. "We" and "our",
replaces "I" or "us". The use tends to eliminate the "personal" aspects of the content.

As a prior Military Member (now Retired) and at 73 years young, we believe we can determine good business practices. And we've been around guns for 50 some years. There is no claim to Gunsmith art or science here. Our comments relate to time and cost. We are quite familiar with other Businesses engaged in the same line of work. If one takes the time to search the businesses available, it should be rather simple to make a decision.

As for the source of our opinion, as POGO put it so eloquently, "It is us"

And just in case anyone wonders, Yes we have done business at Scotts, and we also had some gunsmith work done as well. Never-the-less, our
opinion stands.

I don't usually argue with my elders, but that ^^^ is a load of hooey. "We" indicates that you are offering the shared opinion of you and someone else. It does not eliminate any personal aspects of the comment, it just indicates that you want the reader to think that others already agree with your opinion. You are entitled to your opinion, and no one is attacking you for it. Just don't assume that your opinion is automatically shared by anyone else.

"We" and "our",

Many years ago I used Ken Bingham in Lothian(used to own Ken's gun room in Dunkirk) .
I don't know if he is even around anymore.
Anyone know his status?

not in AA, but there's:

Albright's Gun Shop
36 East Dover Street
Easton, Maryland 21601

Phone: 410.820.8811
Fax: 410.820.4035

albrights@goeaston.net

I've had good service and quick turnaround from Albrights in the past...but primarily on shotguns. They did warrantee work on my A-500 as well when I first received it. Nothing bad to say about 'em...just good...EXCEPT they aren't in AA county (where I live)!

Ah Sgt, a person after our own heart. But, not necessarily a "load of hooey". A large Newspaper editor long ago explained the use of "we" and
"mine". (we stand corrected). It seems the use of second, and sometimes
third person grammar came from the long ago "Royal Families". And still some today, by the way. They had a distinct habit of referring to themselves as "We", some think out of reverence to their parentage. Today, it is still referred to as "The Royal 'We'". It means nothing more than what it is, a literary choice, or, Poetic License, if you will.
No offense meant, and none taken. We all know what opinions are like, simply because we all have one. And, finally, We have learned never to assume anything, simply because we know what it makes of "u" and "me",
and this is not an argument, but an enlightened exchange of thought.

EDIT: on second thought, I think "us" is more appropriate then "Mine". Mine is decidedly singular,
while "us" is plural for sure. And the "Royal We" is surely plural. (I think)..maybe "ours",Never an English Major when you need one!

Bart's and "very good gunsmith" in the same post? I'm just asing?

BTW, I heard Scott was laid up...not in the good way...for a while anyhow.

I had to pull some work from scotts because he was so backlogged, but everything he has worked on for me was awesome.

You may want to try Worth-A-Shot on Veterans Highway, I have talked to the owner a couple of times, but have not had any work done there yet.

WORTH-A-SHOT INC.
8424 Veterans Hwy #5 Millersville,
MD 21108
Telephone: 443-506-7359 / 443-688-6521
Email: customerservice@worth-a-shot.com

BUSINESS HOURS:
Monday – Thursday: 11am-6pm
Friday: 12pm-7pm
Saturday: 10am-2pm
Sunday: Closed

I have not had a good experience (instruction -wise) with Worth a shot. They were very slow to respond to a request for instruction (I found them expensive) and a little tight with their time allotment. They did not respond at all to a request for documentation of my instruction (after they did not respond the first time, I even wrote it for them and emailed it to them with a note to edit what I wrote any way they wished). Perhaps they will improve after they have been in business a little longer.

I am looking for a very good gunsmith in AA county. Clandestine seems booked up, so I need another option.
I need Trijicon sights and Hogue grips put on my .45. I also need an old revolver checked out.

Does anyone have experience with the gunsmith at Anglers in Annapolis?
