I am bringing a German cape gun to the US, together with a extra matched 16 ga. double-barrel set. The dolls-head catch needs repair on the receiver.
Can anyone recommend a winner of a gunsmith for this job....someone whose butt I don't have to kiss to get the job done?? I really don't want to take any chances with this job. Thanks, everyone.

Duane Wiebe, now in Tacoma, Washington - not super fast, but super good.

Dave Yale in Yellowjacket Colorado - Same comments as above.

I have used both for doing restoration work, and would not have reservations about sending any gun to either.

Thanks much, Dave.....when the gun arrives, and I examine it...I will proceed with your advice.

I've also used Dave Yale, good guy.

Do you have contact information for Duane Wiebe?

Duane Wiebe's new phone number for his shop is (253) 535-0066. Duane might take a few days to get up to speed, as he had both knees replaced last week, and is still in the recovery period. You might even want to wait a week or two to call.

I'll second LnB's endorsement for David Yale. First rate on all things old, and those things with more than one barrel. 970/562-4225 Tell him Dan sez "Howdy".
