Hey Guys,
I'm trying to piece together a story about a fellow in Oregon that does (or did) Winchester restorations.

I want to think he did the bulk of his work in the 1980s and his name was Hal, or Holmes, or something to that effect.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Brian Board does a lot of Winchester restorations, not sure where he's located.

Brian Board lives in Neveda, MO. Go to www.acgg.org to get his address and phone number. You might be thinking of Harold Hanson from McMinnville, OR. He has left us. There have been many Winchester collectors in Oregon. Try calling Allison & Carey Gunworks in Portland, OR. Jeff or Brian might be able to help as they have been in the business a long time. Sorry, I don't have the phone number handy just now.

Thank you, Dennis! That was exactly what I was looking for. I was brain farting until you said the name. Thanks!!
