Richard,
I was perusing your contribution below, and what took my eye
was the comment "Competent Gunsmith". It then crossed my mind, how does a
"Competent Gunsmith" professionally arrive at such a qualification
now?---especially here in the UK.
I understand the US appears to have some sort of academic and practical
teaching structure, but have never seen any here, other than perhaps the
Military Armourers Courses. Presumably they still exist, bearing in mind
the political penchant for not admitting such activities. This question is
not mean't to be provocative to any of the trade in or off the list. Its
genuine, I am just curious. Reason being, it took me over five years to
qualify as a Fitter and Turner, after numerous practical tests and academic
examinations, and a darn sight longer to be adjudged as
anywhere near the word "Competent", by my peers. Who or where are the
agency's who now decide who is, or who is not a qualified Gunsmith/Armourer
and Competent in the Civilian enviroment here in the UK?

I think that it may even be pertinent for a subsequent buyer to claim that
the fault was created by the previous owner of the rifle and leave the
vendor open to being sued for any injury that might result.
If any one has a faulty arm one is as well to have a competent gunsmith or
the maker check it and warrant it now OK if only to cover one's own back
after the gun is sold.
