Yes, the 3 important questions:
What do you need done? (Already covered, but this way we know, when we claim its easy enough a cave man can do it, what we are talking about.)
Where do you live? (Perhaps a forum member may come to your rescue with a suggestion of a good gunsmith, or an open garage and the tools and experience you lack)
Who are the people in your tag line? (I have been laughing about that for 2 or 3 days)
I wouldn't be so quick to judge the gunsmith. He is probably old school. I know a lot of the old timers who don't care for these new fangled plastic guns. Anything semi auto is blaspheme to those guys...except the Garand of course.
