I just purchased a 1935 (possibly 1936) field grade 16 gauge. I am in Northern VA and while excited to shoot it, want to have a reccomendation for a hopefully local gunsmith that could give it a once over check. I am aware of Pfrommer Gunworks in Rocky Mt. But that is almost 4 hours away. Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
Paul, The best smith in NoVa is Sandy Garrett, Northern Virginia Gun Works in Springfield. He is a fine pistolsmith, but you might ask him whether he knows shotguns. Fair warning: he generally has a long backlog of work.
