Shotgun Restoration (Where to go?)
Hello,
I recently inherited two shotguns from my grandfather, whom neither I met or my mother knew. He had passed away at the age of 24 when my mother was only 2. A family friend had been keeping the shotguns since 1952 and has finally passed them on to me.
Neither shotgun is worth much from what I've seen...one is a Stevens single-shot .410; the other a Stevens 12-gauge SxS. They appear to be in pretty decent shape for their age, but I would like a pro to look them over, clean them up, and fix anything that may need to be fixed. I understand it will probably cost more to do this than they are worth, but sentimental value is worth more in this case.
I would appreciate any recommendations for shops/smiths that can help me. I'm located approximately 20 minutes north of Pittsburgh. Someone close would be great, but I'm willing to travel, within reason, for the right fixer.
Thanks!
Jeff

Mtn Jack:
I am in a similar boat. If you know a smith who does this type of work, please pm me. I have an old Ithaca that has hunted to death and needs some work.My priority is to defend my life, not just stay alive. - Sshuck
