Recently I completed my Izzy Heavy Barrel Build. One part at a time, with all New to Excellent Parts. Being mostly new, it needed numbering with a Re-park to make all the parts match. Well with a little help from The Fal Files,and Brad at Gunthings, I solved all the Build problems. Than I picked the Refinisher, Which was Rich at Century Gun Works.
I Disasembled my HB and sent all the parts to Rich for a Park, Number and Lettering Job.
When the Parts were retuned to me, it looked like this guy had packed up a bunch of Crystal.The shipping cost must have been three pounds heavier, because of all the extra wrapping! Small parts were well protected in their own carefully wrapped Mass.
As I carefully unwrapped each part, Every part matched! Color, Shade,Texture and most importantly! Thickness of Coating!.
All the Parts had a texture of a Well coated flat black paint,{ No Sand Box Sand in this Guy's Baster} It Was Perfect!!
The Numbering and Lettering Job was equally as Perfect as the Rest!
I am not easy to Please!
But! I am totally Satisfied !
Sorry I haven't figured out how to list pics!
Other wise I would surely be showing them off! I do have a Digital camera, But I just haven't been able to find time to figure this out.
Thanks for your time, and Thank you very much Richard Saunders.

Hey gw11, yes I agree with you Richard S. of Centry Gun Works out in Nevada is a class act I had him build me up a STG kit and refinish it and it was fantastic,I highly recomend him,the only problem will be the wait as he stays booked up.HTH

I agree about the turn around time. But I would certainly do it all again knowing what I know now. At least Rich is honest about the backlog. Everything happened as he quoted. Some people don't tell you that you have to wait, they just figure that you should expect the long wait.

Is the wood new or refinished? If re-done, did CGW do the wood also?

The Wood Buttstock and Handguards are New unissued, and the pistol Grip is IronWood!
I did all the Building and Refinishing of the Wood. It was a little work, getting all of them to be that close in color, but it was worth it.
kcsturm, Thanks for putting the pics in one place. I had a hard enough time getting them here at all!
In case you didn't notice! the Smith brake while welded, along with the Coupler, has been altered to allow the BiPod's removal.
Thanks for your comments.

I know! After this Post I was going to take it out and blow off a couple hundred rounds this afternoon. But then I decided to wait awhile. It's just sitting here watching me watching it!

Hello Brad
Your right! I bought two barrels advertized 'New' but were not. Then I advertized here on the files and got lucky!
