Strip and clean, inspect and evaluate, rejoint action, raise dents in barrels, open one choke, brown the barrels. I had this done many years ago and it was done with quality at a fair price. Top notch work.

1903 12ga GH with Damascus barrels.

Bill Schwarz, gunsmith: 267 Brushy Top Road, Ellijay, GA 30540

Does anyone have a phone number for Bill Schwarz?

There is a gunsmith near me in northern lower michigan (west side of state) whose name is Del Whitman 231-632-0845 He works out of his home, I took a gun there for him to inspect. He told me he does just about anything and side by sides is his specialty. The guys I have talked to about him talk highly of him.

Thanks, I'll contact him.

He was trained by Rigby and his specialty is British shotguns but he has also worked on my Parkers too.. Good smith.

John,
I too have dealt with Bill Schwarz on numerous occasions and have always been satisfied. His contact number is 706-276-7668. Call him.

Bill has done a lot of work for me and is great to deal with.

John Black 10-24-2019 01:17 PM

Thanks guys. I just got off the phone with Bill. I will be taking the gun to him in the near future.

I'd recommend Chris Dawe for any stock work. Although he's done no wood for me, he has for my friend Phil Carr.
I've seen Chris' full wood replacements, checkering, and repairs, and they are second to none. I can also say he is a Master in metal work! I set standards and expectations of my own work to those of his. I hope someday to be as good as Chris. I met and became friends with Chris, through Phil Carr a few years ago when he brought him to Arizona to shoot birds with us. I will say Chris is a true gentleman and a man of his word. He stands behind his work. Chris is a genius and true Master of the trade, and I am only so fortunate and grateful to know him! A+++++
