Default Gun Repair/Shout out to Bill Graham

I was shooting clays with my ST EE grade Lefever and I noticed the forearm had a wiggle to it. I pulled the forearm off to investigate and the lug and short rib came off with it. Based on a recommendation from a friend I sent the barrels and parts to Bill Graham of Nice Old Doubles near Durham NC. I mailed the barrels on Monday and got them back repaired on Saturday. Bill was able to soundly fix the issue without adversely affecting the bluing with in record time for a reasonable price. Thanks for a great job Bill!

Yes, if you are very careful in your prep and cleanup, there is no need to have to blue the barrels.

Bill has done some work on my Parkers. He is a first-rate double-gun smith.

Bill has always done excellent work for me at a fair price. He has repaired two of my Lefever ejector guns using the " Buck Hamlin " fix with great results. He also does color case hardening and beautiful damascus barrels. Top rate man and gun smith in my opinion.

He has worked on and is currently working on my Parker. He has worked on a few others and has done excellent work, always in a reasonable time frame, and always at a fair price. He will continue to be my sxs specialist. He has helped educate me and is always willing to listen to my ramblings and get me headed in the right direction.
