Your talking about Lou Rotelli. I wouldn’t use him

That's the guy Dave..... don't know why I couldn't bring his name up... :banghead:

It’s called old age Dean. Ask me how I know 😏

You don't know.... but you will learn. :whistle:

Any recommendation on a good smith in the Charlotte NC area?

Might help if you specified the type of work Justin, and the make of the firearm. Just a thought. :)

It is a 1927 parker VH

I have an issue that when its very cold out the left barrel doesn't strike the primer hard enough to fire. When it is warm i don't have the issue. I just would like it cleaned on the internals. Possibly the engraving touched up. Make sure the barrel wall is in spec. Possibly case hardened if needed. The only thing I am dead set on is it functioning 100%.

This may not be as "in the area" as you would like but Gunter Pfrommer is probably 2.5 to 3 hours drive time depending and the mechanics issues he could easily address. He would not do the colors in house if you decide to go that route. Maybe someone will know of something closer for you. You can google Pfrommer Gunworks and find him. Good Luck !

Maybe call Bill Schwarz 760-276-7668 I think he's in your area and is a good smith on doubles

I have used Gunter for years and as yet have not been disappointed. Just picked up my 1879 for him, it was in for lock repairs.
