I live in the High Country of NC - near Asheville, Charlotte, Winston Salem/Greensboro or Johnson City, TN. I also have business in Coastal SC and Savannah, GA that I travel to periodically. w.r.t. local gunsmiths, I have experience with Woody the gunsmith at Hyatt Gun Shop in Charlotte (
http://www.hyattguns.com/gunsmithing.html) who fixed the firing of both barrels simultaneously on my 12 ga repro and some minor finish repair on the stock of my A1 repro after I got it back from Geoffrey Gournet. If any of you experienced collectors are nearby, please let me know.
