Jim's Firearms Gunsmithing Reputation/Update page 4

I've got some good buddies that work there, service depends on the day and who ends up helping you.
Sometimes I love the place, sometimes I never want to go back.

Brian (manager), Rex (internet guy) and Taylor have always been nothing but awesome to me.

If you go in for service, I'd make sure to ask for one of those guys.

How do you guys feel about gunsmithing at Heberts?

The one time I brought a shotgun to be fixed there, they messed up the first time but were apologetic and fixed it for free when I brought it back. I understand people make mistakes and they corrected theirs, so I was ultimately happy with my experience.

I won't buy shite there. Went looking for a 9mm several years ago. Walked up to the counter and had 2 employees walk by and wouldn't even acknowledge my presence. I tried getting there attention but they just walked on by. It only takes one experience for me at a retail place and I'm done. As far as the gunsmithing goes and my previous experience I can say I won't use them at all.

Brian is a good guy, know him well and his dad mounts my deer.

My dad uses Hebert and I'm not real high on them. Had a Rem 700 that ha the recall issues. Was light striking bullets and then had it go off when I put it back on safety one day. Brought it to them and got it back and had the same issues. Basically had to bring the gun in and tell them what to do

My only experience with them; I brought them an assisted-opening Benchmade knife my brother borrowed from me then took apart to clean. I asked Jim's gunsmith if he could put it back together because I had no tools to set the springs properly. He said he could no problem. I got it back with none of the screws even remotely tightened down, the locking mechanism improperly seated/not working, and the pocket clip not even attached.

I sent it back to Benchmade and they did it right.

I'd much rather he tell me he couldn't get it right after trying than giving it back poorly/incorrectly done and telling me it's "all fixed up"....like I wasn't gonna check it out before paying him. I completely understand that it was a knife and not a gun......but, really ?!?

I have a poor opinion of his abilities and workmanship. I defiantly do not trust him at his word.

Jims is absolute garbage, no doubt about it. The only positive comments will come from people that personally knows someone there.

I've used Reynerson's a couple of times, and they seem pretty good to me.
