Anyone else been burned by "Hogleg Smith"?

Yea ever since that Mexican "surgery" has has been know as El Burro Grande!

Wasn't surgery, that was just the bull head clap. Swelling has gone down, color is still off a few shades.

For those folks following the saga...... I took the statement I received from Sig Sauer detailing the damage and repair costs to Hogleg today and he said to return the 938 to him, as is and he will replace it with a new one for me.
Cannot argue with that offer. I am still out the $105 to Sig plus all the hassle and running, etc......but
He appears to be doing the right thing and resolving the issue in a fair manner.
Will post the final swap when it happens.

I would ask him if he would absorb that 105 to Sig as well. He might just do it.

probably would just to keep the bad review off the interweb

Agreed. I fail to see how any of this is your problem. It's on him.

Good for you, ask him for the $105 and politely suggest he not take in work that he is not capable of doing.

I appreciate the comments and agree with them. However, I am aware he has man hours involved and will take a loss between the resale of the "repaired at his expense" one and a new one....his mistake will cost him some $$ too so I can live with the $105 out of pocket and chalk it up to lessons learned.

I'll have to say after following this since the start, this is not the outcome I had expected. Certainly this thread has shed light on the limits of HL as a smith but if things work out as it looks like they are going to, he at least is a decent guy.

You are a more forgiving man than I am.

I imagine Hogleg saw he his reputation taking a beating in here. Too bad it had to play out that way. Glad the OP is getting (mostly) made whole.
