What a lousy lesson that cost doesn't always equal quality.
 Apparently Les doesn't need the business or the money anymore; so he doesn't have to stand by his craftsmanship. It is disappointing.

 , sorry to hear of the reply that you got.I do not think that you will ever be happy with the 1911 whether it is a tack driver or not. The thought will always be in the back of your mind wondering what if........... I did show the pictures to a few smiths at Armscor and they by no means are talking bad about the 1911 or the smith but did say that they have replaced a couple of RIA 1911 pistols that came back looking like yours. Granted we are talking about 2 completely different animals here but in business the customer needs to be taken care of. You could always buy one of these and have it customized for you!!!  I know ..........it is still not a Baer!!!

could get 3 RIAs, for the same price as the Baer, and have Armscor ship them in a plain cardboard box with Baer written in magic marker. He'd be ahead.

I'd give them one more try with the simple explanation that you are not a satisfied customer and expect more of a quality builder like Baer. If you get no satisfaction then I would be sure to post those pictures on every forum which is related to 1911's or any other firearm. Something tells me Senor Baer will not appreciate that kind of publicity...
Might even consider posting those pics on his facebook page...

He could actually get about 5 for the price of the Baer.
But like I said it would still not be the Baer Monolith that he wants!!

Sorry to hear that Ell, that should of never left the shop like that. Do whats in your heart, weather its to sell it or to run it as is. I won't give that man my money (not that I can afford it).
Automag, what is an average cost of a custom shop RIA?

You can tell them that you know of one guy that was very interested in getting a Baer until he saw the shoddy workmanship, and learned that they don't stand behind their products.
