Bill Schwartz is about a 7 hr round trip and Dewey Vicknair about 16 hr round trip. Both gentlemen have reputations (and wait lists) far above what I want for cleaning a bunch of well used (but not terribly abused) low grade guns to make viable shooters of them. I am looking for something within 2 hrs drive.

You are really better off finding a good gunsmith somewhere in the country and shipping the guns to them. I have been in your position before and this is where I have ended up

Dr. Bob, Steve in Mt. Airy is a good choice, a little farther than you describe, I’ve got to go up there soon to pick up some holly Steve has saved for me, if I can help with the trip or you want to ride with me, we could make it work.
There is a fellow named Raymond Bunn, in Sylva, who I understand is working for a gun store over there that has a good reputation, but I have not used him, it’s been a long time since I talked to him, I do know he likes perfection and vintage guns. Feel free to call if you’d like. |

Bob,
What about Bill Graham? I am pretty sure you have met him. Ken knows who he is. He may be good to talk to. He may not be within 2 hours, but he is within 3-4.

Hi Bob, We've met a few times. Currently I have a DS barrel from Ken that's getting some dents raised and new bluing. I'd be happy to try and help if I can, and if you wish. I don't take on work I know I can't do well, and I do like doing the work as you described it in your original post. We'll be getting up to Asheville in the next month or so to visit in-laws and others before summer ends. Take care. |
