Then look them up and see where they are today. Some will have retired or moved to other things, a few will still be around, and some flamed out spectacularly. Matt Burkett may be the most spectacular recent flame out of them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not 100% clear on the conviction, but I believe he plead guilty to felony wire fraud for having customers pay upfront and never delivering their pistols. He should be out of prison now though. 400-500k worth of fraud charges, a small portion of which was international. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, You may want to listen to him. It's your ghost of gun smithing future talking. When I met him, he was just about to start gun smithing full time.
