Bill Schwarz
 

Does anyone have an email address for Bill?

Thanks,
John Black

No I don't

I do not believe Bill conducts business by email. That said he is very responsive by phone.

Yeah, I talked to him by phone several days ago but I wanted to send him some photos.

Gunsmith you have used for a parker and work you liked
 

The correct phone number for Bill Swartz in Ellijay, Ga. is 706-276-7668. He has worked on at least 8-10 of my Parkers. Always very pleased with his work. He does not conduct business via email, text, etc. Old fashioned like me.

Here is another new gunsmith who redid some Lefever krupp barrels for me and did a great job.

He s currently helping to rust blue barrels, bone charcoal case color and bluing other parts on my Parker DH 12 ga.

Breck Gorman for composite barrel refinishing gets an A+ from me.





.

For stockwork Danny Patton usually fixes my problems . For rib work and damascus freshening Breck Gorman’s helped me out . If I need a gun tightened up , put back on face , barrels blued or some innards replaced Ned Purcell usually fixes it for me , Purcell’s Custom Firearms , 102 South Madison RD EXT , Orange VA 22960 (540)661-3392 . Oh yeah Danny Patton and Breck Gorman are in the Parker members registry I believe . If you can’t reach Patton you can always call the shop at Purcell’s and he can probably be rounded up .

That’s great to know about Purcell’s. Last I spoke to Danny, he was out of the stock repair business. Years ago, he repaired a Perazzi stock for me that had snapped literally in-half at the wrist as a result of a double discharge. It was ugly, real ugly. Danny’s repair work was noting short of miraculous. It was nearly impossible to see the repair. Fine gent to deal with as well.

Brad did a complete restoration on my 1885 Parker Hammer Gun before his untimely passing . The folks at his shop are top notch. Brad told me that his restoration made my gun a museum quality piece!
You can check out his artisan master work by searching my name on this site.

Charlie is primarily a British Shotgun vendor. Selling British shotguns is his primary business. He is a great resource over the phone to discuss problems with. He has helped my brother with a cocking problems on an LC Smith. He knows and understands old SxS.

I met Bill Schwarz of Ellijay, GA this past Tuesday. I took my grandfather's GH Hammerless side by side to him for assment of condition and to see if there was anything that needed fixing or tweaking. I found Bill to be friendly, and a very knowledgeable gunsmith.

On Oct 30, 2020 I left my Parker with Bill Schwarz for some minor work to be done and a complete dissassembly and cleaning. I got a call from Bill Monday July 6th letting me know the gun was ready for pickup. Since I am about 8 hours away, and I had a friend working in his area this week, my friend volunteered to pick it up for me. My friend reported to me that the gun looks and feels fantastic. Unfortunitely my friend won't be back home with the gun until the end of next week. Can't wait to get it back.

There was a young lady named Bright
Whose speed was much faster than light.
She went off one day
In a relative way,
And returned on the previous night.

Yeah I need to have a talk with Bill. He needs to slow down.

He sure seems to love what he does.

Patton was at the shop Friday talking to me . He’s been kinda secluded since the pandemic . I think he still does some work for select clientele , he also does for us from time to time .

Can anyone recommend someone in the Vermont area? I've heard of someone who works on Parker's in the southn part of the state ,but can't remember their name. Thanks. Harry

Harry try searching this thread for VT or Vermont. I think you'll get a hit or two. Best...

New England Custom Gun, in Claremont, NH, is not far over the Vermont-New Hampshire state-line.

I have never used it, but have only heard good things about the outfit.

Thanks , Will do

I have a parker that needs tightening up. Who best in the new england area. I live in Massachusetts, also known as Taxachusetts. Don't want to travel too far and prefer not to ship.

I would expect you have asked Dan Cullity...?





.

Have not. Doubt he has any roll joints or other parts. Dan's work is exceptional and he commands a price commensurate. I use him sparingly.
I'll touch base with Dan and see

Excellent, more time in his shop for my work. Don't listen to this guy, Lou is excellent.

Bill Graham in NC is getting into the gunsmith business full time now. He refinished some barrels for me and did a great job. He has done a lot of work for some Lefever friends who swear by him.
