Thanks for all the replies. I take the safety advice to heart, as long ago some friends didn't and they're now missing body parts !! I've been searching for about 3 years for a gunsmith in the Vegas area that I felt comfortable taking their advice as to shootability
and I've come up disapointed. I've contacted 11 shops and 3 said it was "probably ok" after a short cursory look at the counter, 7 wouldn't even look at it, pretty much citing "liability issues", and the last one just today said and I quote "Anyone who shoots ANY old gun is an idiot !!". (But he then offered to trade me an old Russian AK and a new Ruger .44 mag. Go figure). I've been out of shooting for about 20 years, but I don't believe that the sport has gone this far down hill. If anyone knows of a REPUTABLE smith ANYWHERE, please give a yell. Again, thanks for the replies and thanks to the PGCA for a putting up a good site. Tom Johnson ph:702-379-8981
