need 1897 gunsmith

[Irish Pat]

can anyone recommend an 1897 gunsmith? I found one on the Internet called Dusty Bunch shooters in Arizona, Tom Squibber. Old Western Gun Repair, says they specialize in 97s. I never heard of them. Irish ☘️ Pat

They do excellent work.  The problem is it took six months or more to get my 1897 completed.

I second Outlaw Gambler. I sent him a total wreck of a 97, fore end shot off by a 44 at close range (don't ask, even though it's a good story). Came back match ready and been going strong since.

Any of those mentioned will do a good job for you, including Squibber.

 

To be sure contact them to see how long they expect it will take for them to get to it and finish the job.

Don Jones aka Cody Conagher in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia has kept mine and my wife’s 97s running for 18 years. He’s one of the best in my book and his turnaround time is usually quick. http://www.codyscowboyshop.com/
