Where do I report a terrible gunsmith ?
Took a Remington 552 my dad gave me to this guy, since I knew nothing about it, claimed he got it going well and cleaned it thoroughly. It shot well for a few days, but after another jam this past weekend, a bad one, I pulled it apart (learned alot real quick) to find mass amounts of crud in the trigger mechanism. Didn't even look like he had it apart. REALLY P***** me off !!! But he's little known here for as long as he's been here, and can't even work on an AR for the lack of tools. So if your in Ohio co. KY, go to Owensboro or Bowling Green, and hope you have better luck.

I tend to do significant research on a gunsmith before I trust my firearms to him/her.

Man, personally if my gun needs some maintenance I can't do...then wtf did I do to it? If nothing then. The manufacturer is gonna fix.

Not many places to report unless you have a local forum
