NRA, IOMA,
Need chamber castings done on 2 rifles I have.
Buddy has handgun that needs to have work done.
Seems there’s a lack of quality ‘smiths around Chi-town. Any members here still in Illinois? I’m trying to escape from “crook” county very soon.
Thanks for any help in advance
 
Want to locate to crab orchard area. Johnson or Williamson county.
2 hours is well within drive for me, thanks.
 
Have you tried Maxom in Des Plaines or GAT guns in Carpentersville.
 
Been to gat guns, bought 3 handguns and 1 rifle there. Great place. Never asked about there gunsmiths.
Will look both of those gunsmiths up. Thanks.
My Rifles are older so trying to be careful as to who I let work on them.
Thanks for the leads.
 
@rookhawk might be able to make a recommendation also.

I know they have a GS on duty but what kind of work they do I'm not sure pretty nice selection of new and used guns on hand

Why I need a good gunsmith. Doing my part to protect The rifles from”inexperienced” hands, and have a good chamber cast along with provenance from London for the next caretakers of these fine rifles.

This is from 1914.

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
Ross
