Ricky...for $1000 I would be filing a small claims action in Virginia. Virginia is a "creditor-friendly" state and if you have enough documentation to show that you have a contract with him to furnish the gun, which he has broken, you might be able to get a judgment against him. A judgment might attach some property or land (no pun intended) on his real estate and at some point you may get paid. I did this sort of thing in NC for a living for nine years, with limited experience in Virginia but some years back I started an action on a guy who had moved to Virginia and was not being responsive, got a judgment and was able to garnishee some of his income, which got his attention. If you decide to do something like that just avoid using an attorney unless the lawyer will take it on for the fees the court will grant him for representing you and only if he gets you your money back. Otherwise you may be able to file an action yourself, which is what I did.

Thanks for the comments on my photography. The background is actually a light blue but it only comes out if I edit the photo and for reasons of my own I did not edit these. I have some red material as well and have used it with good effect but switched colors this time.

I am indeed fortunate to have some of GS's work. He is an excellent craftsman.
