What to do about a lousy gunsmithing job?
I'd take a set of files and a dremel tool to that "smith's" noggin until he looked about the same as the rifle. Then I'd go about worrying about the rifle itself.

Looks like things could be smoothed over a bit, but at what expense? Unless the rifle has some sentimental value, you may be better off starting off with the M48A, which sounds like a better starting point at this time. I'd insist that I'd not be out the $15. What the hell for? All the grief that smith has caused? I don't think so. And that owner should probably be willing to let it slide anyway just for the sake of good customer relations. Then I'd hightail it as far away from that smith as possible and let someone else do what you really want. If it were me, I'd want the corpse, get the M48A and walk without owing anything.
