hi, thanks for the reply. I will look into Ken.

I will never got back to Perry's. he ripped me off a long time ago when I was ignorant of vintage guns authentication. he sold me a vey expensive winchester 1890 (I'm embarrassed to say how expensive) that was actually a non-matching serial numbered 1906 with a bad re-blue and a relined barrel! none of which he told this rube when I bought it. he knew he was ripping me off.  avoid Perry's.

right now I would like to have a new special barrel indexed to my winchester 1890 2 model. I need some work done on my antique winchester rifles and on my sig sauer as well.

thanks 

Does anybody know of reliable and knowledgeable gunsmithing in the Santa Cruz area. I have tried Del Valle and all they did was store my cased rifle on their cement floor for 8 months then told me to pick it up unworked on and with NEW red rust on it!   too busy for gunsmithing! hostile people too.

thanks
