Mojopin2010 Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 (edited) John A. Worked his magic on my dumpster fire of a Wilson Tube MP-40. He said it was "rough," I guess that is saying something. Need to be reblued, new barrel, new stock, new springs and resting bar. As usual his work was impeccable and well worth the wait.

Planejack Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Did John complete ahead of schedule he told you or later? I’m curious as he told me two months on my job….I can hardly wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekraps Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 John did a similar job for me about three years ago (my gun was, in his view, "in need of much help") and the results were the same. He essentially saved the gun as the field rust was eating the thin metal up... I had to act or risk having the gun self destruct. The results were amazing and I now own a fully matching, fully reconditioned C&R MP 40. The gun shoots well, is safe and looks fantastic. John specializes in saving guns on the brink of self-destruction, and considering the age and manufacturing processes for these war time weapons, each one saved is a good thing.

I kinda of look at it like the old transfers when it is done it is done. He dose great work so no reason to ponder it much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’ve contributed to his retirement savings, but I do so with no regrets! He is 100% reliable, infinitely talented and totally transparent on timing and work. And… he guarantees his work.
