Did the gunsmith in question fix/pay for his mistake? This is why I'm leery about taking a gun to a 'smith for custom work since I really don't know any gunsmiths locally. You never know if you're dealing with a competent craftsman, or a shade tree hack. A Lilja barrel is an expensive tube to screw up on.
