Default Gunsmith Problems

I have been trying to find a gunsmith in my city who will do work on my Ithaca Flues. No such luck so far, one guy even told me that he refused to do any work as "...damascus should not be shot under any condition". I did not even bother to argue with him. Anyone know of a gunsmith any where near Las Vegas?

I have a friend who is an Ithaca enthusiast that has used some gunsmith in North Carolina who specializes on Ithacas. That is not much information, but I would be happy to get the name from my friend if you wish.

I have had good luck with Keith Kearcher in Bend, OR. He offers a quick turn around time and excellent work.

Brian Dudley is working on a Parker DH for me. He is in NY though. His main specialty is wood, but he can do some mechanical work.

Brad Bachelder in Michigan does the damascas barrels, along with many other gunsmithing needs. He is a member here and you can google him.

Eldon, What type of work needs to be done? Just curious.

Diamond Gunsmithing in NY also specializes in Ithaca guns.

Just need to have it looked over to see if it is safe to shoot and to have a small dent removed. That is why I was looking for someone close as it is not anything major.

Not sure where close is but any of the above could easily handle that job.
