Gunsmith suggestion - a little off topic

Phil Yearout · 11-07-2018, 02:04 PM

My nephew has a 12ga O/U marketed by Mark DeHann (Huglu I guess) It went south on him on our recent SD trip - trigger moves but gun doesn't fire. He took it to a Houston area shop and their response was "We don't work on that cheap Turkish sh*t." Aside from whether he's right or wrong in his assessment, does anyone have any suggestions of where he might take it in the Houston area? Thanks...

Pull the action from the stock. The trigger parts are held in place with pins that are a simple friction fit. You will likely be able to identify the pin that has worked loose.

You could give Briley Mfg. a try.

You might try contacting CZ-USA that import Huglu shotguns and see if they have any contact information for recommended gunsmiths that work on Huglu shotguns.

Is Mark Dehaan not working on them anymore? Used to be able to send the gun to Mark and he'd straighten it out.

Mark's retired. He still has his email address posted and sys he'll try to help with parts, etc. I suggested Randy contact him anyway to see if he had any suggestions or could recommend anyone. I also contacted CZ-USA but have not heard anything back yet. He's taking the gun to Briley's today.
