Spoke to Jim this morning. The guy is very nice and friendly type not all uppity and full of themselves. Very knowledgeable, I spoke with him about 30 mins. I really cant say enough about the man. He is really straight up. Someone I could hang out with and talk guns all day. He agreed to see what he could do. All that for 15$ He said if he just looks at he can tell if it is possible to repair but he assured me that if he attempts it, it will look better than it did. That is what I want to here. My motto " If your scared I can't use ya" Well he aint scared, So the op rod ships today. I'll keep everybody posted on the out come. I suggest that anybody who reads this post and has problems with there op rod will use this gentleman Jim! Regards Jeff B
