Korupt Karl Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Since the site won't let guys advertise.....let's do it for them. In the midwest: Ohio-Lassiter-pistols, leverguns, 87's and just about everything Michigan-Colt McCallister-97's, lever guns, etc. S. Indiana-Manatee-Lever guns, sights, etc. NE Indiana-Montana Longhair-does about everything At one time or another I've had all these pards work on, or set up a gun for me and all with good results. By the way these are all top notch shooters as well. KK I had Widder do my Marlins with the angle feed and he has turned the process over to Slick McClade who I understand is doing a great job making Widdermatics down in Louisiana. Let's add to this list to help those who are in need of some gun work. l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Over the years have had several. Griner Gunworks of Bloomfield , NM Bob James from down Phoenix , AZ way Sheriff Bill Murphy(alias) from Phoenix area Cowboys and Indians shop in CA Longhunter in Amarillo , TX Ol' Number 4 in Oregon for shotguns (BSS) Cinch from Myton , Utah for 97s I also have a Smith & Wesson Model 19 that has an excellent action that I have no idea who did the work. I traded for the little shooter from a pard in Virginia ; he told me the smith's name but I have forgotten. Glad we have all these talented folks to lean on , if I had to do my own I would probably shoot them factory stock. What a HORRIBLE thought. Most happy with tuned shooters , Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Branch Louie Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Cody for a rifle In NC, 3 Cut is hard to beat for slicking up a Ruger at a reasonable price and he does top notch work on Stoegers and Baikals as well. For leather, Murphy's Custom Gunleather in the midwest is as good as it gets. Holsters fit guns like a glove and will last at least a lifetime...

Korupt Karl Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 I know there are a lot of good gunsmiths.....I listed the ones that did work for me....I'm glad others are getting their recognition. Duece, Ketchum, Doc Noper and others do great work, but I haven't gotten around to them yet....lol....in time....so many gunsmiths, so little time. I think I'll start one on gunleather.

Cowboy Rick, SASS #49739L Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Spur is retired, but he did a couple of Norico '97s and a couple of 73s for me. Told me how to do my Marlins! He also did a .45CS Marlin short stroke, very sweet. Cap did my 87 and fixed a broken Stoger, both overnight at a match. Manatee did some great work on my first 73 while at a match, St. Jude's, then donated all his gun work that weekend to the charity! Super happy with all the work done. All these guys act like it's a lifetime warranty. I've done half a dozen Stevens, several Marlins, a bunch of '58 Remies, and all my Rugers, but I ain't no gunsmith, and I can prove it! Tweakin' and fixin' are two different animals. CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
