Gunsmith Recommendation Needed (Nothing Major)

[Suo Gan]

I am seeking recommendation on a decent gunsmith. The local yocals are not so hot to say the least.

Anyone out there with a history of quality, decent prices, and quick turnaround (a month or two????)?

Am I dreaming?

Any help would be appreciated. I have a few guns that need to see the doctor.

What needs looking at and what do you need done?

Yes it really does to some extent depend on what you need done. The gunsmithing profession has become somewhat specialized. When I was still doing that work I worked primarily on double guns ,Parkers, Foxes, L.C. Smiths, as well as a lot of European firearms. It's not that I didn't, wouldn't, or couldn't work on rifles and handguns it's just most people prefer working on a particular type of gun and it sort of turn into your "specialty". Naturally the more you concentrate on one area the better you become. I tend to believe in the old adage "Jack of all trades, Master of none" applies.

Odds and ends. Pad fitted to a rifle, a few rifles D/T'd, refinish and piece in toe on buttstock...that sort of thing.

I am not dealing with the locals, I have tried several, outlived a few good ones, the ones that are left are the very bottom of the heap, wouldn't trust them with my red ryder.
