    Anybody know Nick Niblick "National Treasure" gunsmith listed at Hunters Run Gun Shop? Has anyone seen any of his metal or wood checkering work?



    EDIT BY VERMIFORM:
    I changed the title, stickied this thread and added the Bio information this loser put in his profile so that everyone one can watch out for him.

    Who Ever does the re blue job make sure they hand polish and do not use wheels! Eduardo would be one of the fellows that hand polishes guns. When I graduated gunsmith school 32 years ago Eduardo was around then. There are not too many old school smiths left around here. And then there are the "TV" gunsmiths that I will not comment on as I will not comment on any "National Treasures"..Can't loose with Eduardo for a professional job

    You said in one of your other posts that he was a former partner of yours and that you put him thru 1911 Armors school. Have you seen any of his work?

    What a chickenshit thing to do. If anyone can find jimdvc's personal info post it up. We can all talk **** about him on random forums and **** on his reputation.

    So when he was at Reynerson's, he was just Nick Niblick, competent gunsmith, but now he's left there and has become Nick Niblick, National Treasure?

    I guess I don't get the point of this post...

    the national treasure moniker was given to me in an e-mail from one of my customers that I installed and headspaced a Garand receiver for. It was a reweld and I used an original receiver and so the rifle then functioned. My co-workers at Reynerson's found this appellation hilarious and I still am abused regularly with it. I am not nearly as enchanted as my friends seem to be.

    Hey, are you the mid 50s, thin, kinda grey haired dude with glasses?
    If so, you did good work for me at Reynerson's.
