I'm kind of disappointed in their service. I brought in my WWII Mauser k98 that had been…read moresportarized previously to get fixed. I talked to them and made an appointment about 5 weeks out so I could drop the gun off and have a somewhat reasonable turnaround time. I guess this was lost on them because when I dropped the gun off, I was told it would still be weeks before they could get to working on it. I was slightly annoyed about that since this was the whole reason in waiting to drop the gun off, but whatever, there busy and I get it. When I initially spoke with them and when I dropped the gun off, I was clear that I wanted wooden dowels inserted into both pieces of the stock and the remaining gap filled to make it a solid piece again. When I come to pick it up it looks like a terrible fix in my opinion and they said they inserted metal slivers (like nails) into both ends and epoxied them. I was not very happy about this fix, but when I questioned them about this, they said they believed it to be the best course of action to fixing it. It looked very cheaply done and flimsy to me, the stock actually bends at the separation when the front band is not in place to secure it to the barrel, but the "fix" was already done and they supposed to be professionals so I let it go. I also asked about having the wood touched up slightly to blend a light-colored spot from where the stock had been taped together for years, but it was not done and when I asked about this upon pickup, I was told how to do it myself. Again, I was slightly annoyed, but I just wanted my rifle back so I didn't push the issue. The thing that really upsets me though is after getting back home and looking the rifle over a little more closely you can clearly see where when they were trying to fix the rifle the front band was pushed too far down onto the barrel/stock and gouged the wood on either side. And then to get the front band back off it looks as if a mallet or something was used to hammer it back off and damaged the front band along with put a small gouge in part of the barrel. I have attached an older picture of before the "repair" was done and it is slightly blurry zoomed in, but you can clearly see the gouges were not there. I would highly recommend taking your rifle somewhere else if possible

This is part of a region where the sea islands are not developed and there isn't really any ocean…read morebeach access. The wildlife refuge, like a lot of land in the area, used to be a plantation and was converted into small farms after the Civil War. More surprisingly, it also used to have a WWII-era airfield. This means that much of the reserve is actually paved because its the remnants of said facility. The signs of the park's pastoral era are less evident, but an isolated stone fountain hints at the mansion that once occupied the area. Now the place is consumed with Spanish Moss and various tropical plant life. There is a loop which offers some waterside access. It isn't exactly prime tourist territory, but this is a wildlife refuge and not a park, so if you go in expecting something touristy you're in the wrong place. I did not see any alligators, but coming during the winter also meant that I wasn't swarmed by bugs, which is often the case around these parts. But for the hardy adventurer, this is an intriguing site.

What a beautiful wildlife refuge! While staying in Georgia for the week, this was certainly a…read morehighlight. We were able to see quite a few alligators (some were even blocking the pathway!), and there were a lot of birds to see throughout the marsh area. The paths are well maintained and flat, so you can easily spend a few hours walking around and enjoying the scenery. Highly recommend!
