There are several good gunsmiths you can find on here, but I have used Brian Dudley with great results. Here is his website

You're doing the right thing Michael.
Keep in mind that not every 'gunsmith' is qualified to do the work on these old guns in the manner that they deserve. Some can even do more damage to these guns through their ignorance of proper repair procedures. And there are those whose work is so perfect that you can't even tell there was ever a problem with the gun.... we hope you have chosen one of these. Good Luck. |

Mike,
Too bad about that mishap with the gun falling from the wall. The good thing is that it COULD have been much worse. The damage to the gun looks very repairable from the little that I can see.

Goerres, Mills, Romig, Opening Day and Dudley,
Thanks for taking the time to respond. I won't wait for the call back from my local gunsmith. I'll research the forum and probably reach out to Dudley. See if I can follow this up with after photos. From someone who's a gun owner but not exactly an expert thanks again for the advice. |

I would like to put in a word for my friend, Mr. James Flynn. James is a gun maker whose specialty is stocking. James has written more than one article for "Shooting Sportsman and has been doing work now for forty years and is quite good. His site address is : www.doublegunshop.com/flynns_custom_guns.htm.

Michael, you won't go wrong following the sage advice of the above members. Use one of the recommended gunsmiths noted in this forum. You wouldn't send the Mona Lisa to your local art shop for repair and nor should a nice restorable Parker.
