Who do I turn to?

This isn't about a Parker.............but, wait just a second before you grab the pitchforks:
I am in the process of bringing home a Sauer & Sohn 16 gauge Damascus hammer shotgun of a very high grade, which is in sad condition.
The barrels are bent a bit, and need straightened....then I will never trust them, so am thinking about Teague liners.
This gun is a project, but breathtakingly beautiful

It need lots of TLC, Money, Time....and, is so damn lovely, I will do that, but I need advice from the most knowledgable about who is the best guy to
straighten the barrels (Then, it's off to Kansas City for damascus magic.)

Okay, now I'm running........so grab the forks, the tar and feathers, and proceed. No need to run: I'm a miniature Destry.

Sam, Kirk Merrington would be my choice for that kind of repair.

What Dave said plus 2.... He is the best.

Thanks fellows;
I have sent an email to Mr. Merrington, and am awaiting his response.
This may be one of those multi-thousand projects, but holding the wreck of what was once the best of the German guns is like holding a wand.

No, it's not Purdey or Parker, (I'm teased that all I want to shoot are "P" guns) but she's got her own sweet song if I can just coax the music out.

God bless all there, and Nebraskan's remember September First is Dove and Chicken day!
