Looking for a local Gunsmith
 

Anyone know of any local gunsmiths that they would recommend?

Yes, I'm aware that Shooter's World has a repair / gunsmith department, but imo their fees and hourly rate (if memory serves me correctly somewhere around $75-$100/hour?) are insane.

I have a couple of rifles I need re-finished.

The gunsmiths at SW are great guys. They can do alot.

But if you need extensive refinishing...its HNr in Inverness...complete gunsmith that can do alot more than SW.

Might check with The Gun Store on Hwy 44. Bet they can recommend someone.

DADDYD. D id you find a gunsmith on this forum. i have 2 each Winchester 94. Theadore Roosvelt
That needs repairs

VTDennis here on this forum

Second the shop in Inverness, very capable staff.

JB Guns in Bushnell refinished a buddy's shotgun. They did a great job.

another vote for jb - he found the issue w/my turk o/u & only charged a cleaning fee,,, since bought a 525 o/u browning from him - terrific shotgun,,, he's located about 5m from blackjack

I never followed up on this VT, so don't have any experience w/ referrals that others listed.
