Re: The Handgunner
I had several mods done to my SP101 at their shop and was very pleased with their work. This was 10 years ago, at least. I have never heard a bad thing about them yet.

Re: The Handgunner
I had Randy thread my barrel for my Marlin 880SQ. They quoted me 4 weeks and it was completed in 2 weeks. The price cost more than their original quote, but it was worth it to have it back in half of the time I was expecting.

Hey abpt1,
Yeah Randy did great work on my firearms too. Also most of the guns that I own came from their shop.

Re: The Handgunner
Ditto on Randy Hollowbush's work and working with me on a few new purchases. He was able to revive an old timer I had that three other "gunsmiths" (sic) gave up on and cleaned up the trigger on my Hi-Power.

Re: The Handgunner
I took a mauser there to get a scope installed. I live far away but heard good thigns about him. I take it down there, leave it for what he said would be about a week and a half, ends up taking him almost 2 months.
I go pick it up on saturday and he tells me he couldnt' zero the scope i gave him. He said the barrel was bent. All frusterated, i go home cursing at my POS mauser. It take the rings off and look at the holes he drilled for the rings and realized they weren't even straight. The front two were off to the right side.
Took it to another gunsmith and he laughed at how off center the holes were.
The handgunner proved to be a waste of money and he screwed up my gun. It wasn't even worth my time to drive back down there, being i live almost 2 hours from the place.

Re: The Handgunner
You should have taken that up with him.... I am sure he would have made it right...He hired two new guys since he got so busy.... I am sure he would have done some thing like to make it right.
In fact I think he just fired one of them .......He has Mounted 8 or 9 scopes for me and has cut forcing cones done trigger jobs even ported two guns mounted sights ect. for me ....I hve got Nothing but top notch service....
So you should have told him or taken it back I drive from reading to wysox a lot its not so bad ... You the first guy in the 10 + years of going there I heard bitch so who knows?
IMO I dont care I shoot a lot and I have gone to almost every gun smith in NE PA I would never go any where else I dont care what anyone says......I trust him .Last edited by abpt1; August 26th, 2007 at 06:32 PM. Reason: added
