 Does anybody here know who can repair a worn operating rod ? I know Warbird does it

Ask Ted Brown  in a week or Dan at West Texas Armory.  Both do outstanding work.

If your oprod needs to be rebuilt such as the piston, tab, or needs to be rebent, call or email Jim Swartz at [email protected], or call him at 614-834-4895 ( OH ). He rebuilds a lot of the oprods for some of the big name smiths.

Shamlessly stolen from the Battlerifles site.

     Took him a week to answer my initial e-mail . I had a follow up question . Another week .
When I asked for a shipping address , he said he had no record of quoting me for work . He
wanted those e-mails forwarded to him . I did .  Never heard from him again .

         I won't beg anybody to take my money .     BTW , Mrs. Swartz responded to my
e-mail almost immediately .  Jim's gonna get my business .  AND he's a GCA member to boot .

        Just so everybody is clear on this , I am NOT commenting on the quality of his
   work .  I know he is highly recommended on this and other forums .  THere is NO other way to contact him except by e-mail . Seven days to respond is unacceptable .
