Who is a good gunsmith that knows how to work on A Winchester Mod 97

Paul:
You might give Tom Sargis at Bozeman Trail Arms Mfg. a call. He does a lot of work on the "cowboy" action shooting front and may be able to help you or tell you someone who might.
His number is 406-223-1111 Good luck.

The best is Coyote Cap - but he has just annouced on the SASS wire that he is going to slow down and not do as much work (he's not young and his daughter who was going to take over the shop had a stroke). If you don't mind a wait, he is the person to have work on your 97.
