Same here and I stay as far away from the wet side as I can. I was just basing that comment off the Evergreen College crap that went on a year or two ago. All that aside if I was looking for a smith in WA it'd be Rbros 100% no questions asked.
Picked my barrel up yesterday and put the rifle back together. NW Armswerkes cut and threaded it, and Brett did a great job (18")
I have a couple of quick pictures (not a great photographer at all). Tikka T3 223, mountain tac bottom metal, timney trigger, Mcmillan hunters edge stock, leupold VX-5HD fire dot scope. It'll make a good coyote rifle.
Forgot to mention, Brett did the job in two days!!
