| - I'll start by saying that I'm not the most experienced when it comes to gun smithing (even that's an understatement) so when I needed my flash hider that had been pinned and welded removed so that I could add a low profile gas block and free float quadrail, I started asking around at a spot I frequent called Ventura Munitions (I've dealt with Mike extensively and he's/they're awesome).
They don't do gun smithing, but they were adamant on recommending Wild West. I called them up and spoke with Shannon who was extremely helpful and decided to go the next day (today). On my way home from work however, I happened to stop at Guns (Peacemakers Gun Shop) off Decatur who didn't want to take on the job, but also highly recommended Wild West. At this point, I take my ass home, grab my gear, and head down to Wild West.
I got there and met the crew and they were cool enough to show me the back where the work gets done and even the proper way to remove a pinned and welded flash hider. Also, at my request, removed my front sight post and gas tube. Not only do they have an impressive store front and workshop, but they were all really awesome guys and absolutely set the standard for professionalism and great work.
I thanked them and went to the front to square up the bill and they said that it didn't take that long and insisted on calling it even. I can tell you guys that I was sincerely shocked. It's companies like Wild West that make me want to pay favors forward. I would, just like the experienced industry long timers that did me, HIGHLY recommend Wild West to anyone looking to do business with an experienced staffed gun smithing company (that do anything and everything). They've earned my business most certainly and a lot of respect to go along with it.
Thanks a bunch, guys! See you soon.
Graciously,
Ricky Raus (the knucklehead that couldn't remove the flash hider properly)
