Interestingly I just called him Monday as I have a set of crown grade barrels I would like sleeved. I had assumed since he did sleeving and most of the pictures on his web site are of L C Smiths he would be a great choice. Mr Vicknair was friendly but told me imfatically I won't let another L C Smith into the shop. I pressed a little further and asked what about just the barrels. The response was not barrels, or any other part of an L C Smith. I am guessing he must have had some bad experience lately with L C Smiths.
