Del Whitman?
 

Just saw a post on Facebook referencing a gunsmith named Del Whitman. (D.C. Whitman Custom Gunsmithing) The pictures posted show his work on some pretty fine doubles. The few reviews shown are highly favorable. No address given, but from the phone number I assume he is in northern Michigan. Anyone had any experience with him?

Yep. Top notch work. He has my HJ Hussey now. Lives in Lake Anne.

He usually displays at the Spring Southern.

John he has worked on my Hollands, very skilled worked for Rigby for a while, he is outside of Lake Ann

Del is a fine craftsman , a good business man and a nice guy! You usually don't find those things all in one human!!

John,
I took a parker to him to look at before shooting it. I am glad I did, as others have said he is a good man. He has a lot of guns he is working on, and seems very knowledgeable.

Ditto to all the above. I purchased my first vintage sxs last year and he was extremely helpful in conducting the inspections, explains things, and performing some minor work after the purchases.

Del is a great guy and a very talented smith. You could do worse but it would be hard to do better.

Talented
 

Del did inspections on two of my English SxS's. In both cases he had to make parts to repair them. Excellent work! Explains things and really a nice man.
