Hi, I have a McDermott D-3 which I love. It's currently weighted at ~21oz, and I wanted to get some lighter weight bolts to experiment with dropping the weight. Anyone have any they are willing to part with?

Thanks Man. Could you share a picture of your GC3 rails? I want to make sure that mine look right after they are fixed. I'll let people know who did this if he does not make it right.

Interesting. I did not realize they always had the stain choices. Ya. I have seen pictures of a guy who has the whole D series with the grey stain (now that I am looking for it) some look cool to me, others really don't work in my eyes.

Hey. Have any of you guys seen a D7 stained blue before (see pic below)? Was this a standard option? Does it affect value at all? Thanks so much!

The worst for me is knowing that something isn't right, and wondering what the hell else was not done right!

Hi everyone, One more quick piece of advice, When I talk to the guy about redoing it, what should I tell his is sloppy? I want to make sure the table is done right, and not be unreasonable. Are the folds in the side pockets like I have acceptable? Should there just be no wrinkling on the rails...

I appreciate your help, and I am happy to privately share where I am located. This "mechanic" (could be installer) was recommended to me over the phone by @realkingcobra. Glen told me that while he has never met this individual or seen his work in person, that this individual has sent him...

Thanks! I am pretty sure I saw him do this. I vaguely recall him marking the cloth with chalk. This is off topic, but I asked him why he was not doing the pockets with the nice looking fold, and he said that it takes too long, and that since the GC3 has the black inserts it would never be...

Thanks so much Sorry I don't know what indexing is. Feel free to DM me and we can talk, but I am not going to reveal where I am located publicly as I do not want this bad job to jeopardize the mechanics reputation. Perhaps he just had a bad day. . . So long as he makes is right eventually.

I could be confused about what a rail blind hanger is, but the table was completely disassembled as I refinished the wood and powder coated all of the accent pieces. The mechanic took the rails to his shop to put new cushions on and recover. I am super disappointed as realkingcobra gave me the...

Thanks for the advice. The bolts are all tight.

Hi all, I hired a mechanic who came highly recommended in these forums to move and recover a gold crown 3 as well as re-cushion the rails with super speed cushions. When the job was done, there was a 1/4 in gap between the aprons and top rails (see the pictures below), which I asked the...

Thanks so much everyone!

Thanks, everyone. Good stuff. There shouldn't be an issue fitting a modern low deflection shaft to an old D model. Right?
