Not only that, but when you get your firearms back they will be given back after 2 or more weeks without the work done and an excuse. A hole drilled into your handguard that should not be there. Lastly you will receive a firearm that used to function and now will not due to lack of pride in their work... How do you forget to function test a firearm before it leaves your shop? Then when you take it back they tell you how they function test every firearm and that I must have done something, but they can charge me a shop fee and repairs to fix it....
I had H&H replace sights on a high polish Colt Commander years ago (4-5) and it was absolutely horrible.
Estimated turnaround was "a couple weeks" and by the time I picked it up (I had to constantly hassle them) it was a couple months.
They totally buggered up one side of the frame from a vise (Remember this was a high polish .45)
They charged me for a box of ammo (Overpriced) to "sight it in"
First time I shot it (at their lanes) I was off by almost 5" to the left at 10yards.
They never took responsibility for the damage (asked if I had pictures before) and then said if I wasn't happy with sight in that they could CHARGE me to sigh it in (after they told me they had).
I will NEVER use them again and I tell everyone to stay away from them.

The last gun they worked on for me was a Uberti 44mag revolver that was out of time. Took 8 weeks for them to get the parts in and another 4 to fix it. Last year I took a barreled savage action in to have them loosen the barrel nut so I could remove the barrel to ship the action off. If I remember right they wanted around $100 and told me I'd have to leave it for a few days. I haven't been back since.
As I read your post I thought "is this going to be a good experience?" Than realized I've never really heard of anyone having a good experience with H&H 'smiths'
Man, I didn't know a simple question was going to turn into a " let's dump on H&H thread. Maybe a 2 year investment for some of you at the Colorado School of Trades would solve many of your problems.
Mainly I was talking about custom rifle building which takes more of a machinist mind set.

They had my Dad's PPK/S for 7 months, said since it was a Interarms S&W would not work on it. After 7 months I called S&W, not only do and did work on Interarms. They fixed the gun free of charge. Will NEVER EVER let them touch another firearm of mine.
If you need a rifle done, take it to Steve Baldwin in Jones Okla.

What would solve my problems is not ever going back to them because they suck, so that's what I did.
