Dude! If I damage a customers firearm I fix it! WOW That looks like it may be from the sight pusher itself. I assume its just on the side shown?
Man if I would have made a mark on your slide like that I wouldn't be able to sleep at night! And then to charge you for install?
Replacing sights you have to be very careful. With a sight pusher and delrin punches you still have to be very careful!
Thanks brother,I respect your position on this and your integrity. Personally I'm better at confrontation if I have a chance to chew it awhile cause if I'm pissed I'm not very smooth and that's usually not the best solution for me. Had to get older to learn this for myself. Some folks are better on their feet so JMHO I think your handling the situation just fine.
I am a low confrontation type of person.
If he didn't offer a discount then he probably wasn't going to make it right in any way, even if asked or demanded.
But I would not do any further business with someone who is incompetent (no matter how much I like them personally) and I would share the story with whomever would listen so they would not go through the same experience.
There are enough gunsmiths out there that know how to do things the right way, who know what good service is if something goes wrong, to not have to put up with a gunsmith who is incompetent and doesn't make things right when they go wrong.
That's because you know how to do business.A few years ago I had a customer bring in a Remington 37 for me to cut the stock down on.. It's was the middle of winter.. We had an ice storm. I was walking from the shop to the house carrying the Remington stock I had just cut down.. Slipped on the ice and oh man I went down hard..
Yep and put a nice scratch in the buttstock..
Ughh nice 4 inch one! So I had to refinish it! All on my dime!
When I did the final bill I told the customer I had slipped and fell in the ice and scratched his stock.. And he said " oh don't worry about it" I'm giving this rifle to the grandkids to plink with....
Oh well they have a nice stock to plink with!
I would want my serial numbers to match. Especially if the scratch was not my fault. Ford's Custom can "remove" mill marks off P7M8's so I dont think they would have any problems filling this scratch.The slides are not matched to the lowers. Well they are marked but are not mated..Hard chrome is not thick enough to hide that indent. As a gunsmith he can get a new slide at cost, it was mentioned that they were $400+. Dealer cost has to be less than that?
This is a tough one for sure, if its going to be a carry gun then just leave it be. BUT lets say your going to sell that pistol to me. First thing I notice is the ding in it, and then try to knock $150 off your asking price.
