How would you handle this? (Update. I got it back!)

[grimlin]

Today, like everyday, I called the gunsmith two or three times. As usual, he didn't answer, so I decided to go to his shop and leave a note on the door. He wasn't there, but as I sat in the truck writing the note, he showed up. I followed him in and told him I was there to get my shotgun. He walked into the back and then came back with the wrong gun. I told him that it wasn't my gun. He looked at me funny, and then asked me if I was the guy he had just talked to on the phone. I told him that I was not, and I put my receipt on the counter. He walked to the back and retrieved my gun, and said "no charge". I asked if it was fixed, and he replied with "did I call you?" "No" I said. "Then I didn't fix it." What a jerk! He holds my shotgun hostage for six months, refuses to return my calls, and he never even worked on my gun! Well, at least I got my gun back. That's one less thing to deal with as I prepare to make my move.

That has to be the best line I've heard in a LOOOONG time.... ;D

I'm not gonna lie,but if i heard him say that to you I would have busted out laughing so hard.That was extremely messed up he said that.He definitely is a big JERK though.Least you got your gun back!!

Glad it ended on a positive note for you.

Glad to see that you got your gun back. Probably for the best that he did not work on your gun. From his poor business etiquette to his rude behavior I doubt he would have fixed it right for you. You would have been in for not only the loss of your money, but also he gun if he didn't fix it right. That is if you didn't get hurt trying to shoot something he messed up. All for the best.

I agree with that. If he cant fix a simple extractor on a shotgun he isnt even a basement butcher.
