Honestly, you sound like you don't know who is working on your rifle? It also seems like you don't know whether they are male or female?


Gun was sent to a gunsmith. He’s a male. He did the barrel swap.
Gunsmith(male), then sent the gun to MPI custom stocks.
The owner of MPI is a female. Her only responsibility was to build a custom stock, and then return the gun to the gunsmith(male), so he could cerakote the gun with the stock.

It was supposed to be a very simple process. And it was, up until MPI(female) received the gun. Then everything went to shite.
Gun is now back with the gunsmith(male). However, as soon as it was delivered, he emailed me saying it looks like shite, and sent pictures to show how bad MPI(female) messed up not only the stock, but also gouged and scratched the receiver and barrel.

This is a tough lesson. I’ve had many guns worked on by people out of my area. I always vet the person/company and never do business with anyone that has more than 3 bad reviews. It’s just not worth it. A quick google search of MPI should have told you to stay away. Sorry for your troubles.

Apparently the old man that started MPI died and the daughter is trying to keep it afloat. She is apparently a terrible business woman.
Here is a story similar to yours.

Anyway, gunsmith sends me pictures within an hour of delivery. He’s amazing, 100/10 recommend.


If you’re recommending the guy, it would be useful to know who he is lol
