How far are you willing to drive? I know of an excellent gunsmith that I'd drive 1000 miles before taking it to where you did. Because they are so far away and have weird hours, it's best to call ahead and make sure they can help you. You will not be disappointed in the service they offer and their pricing is a hell of a lot cheaper than the other place you went to. Rody's Gun Shop 603-863-3356
They are localted in Newport, NH right on Rt.103 about 1 mile or so before town. Go roughly about a mile or 2 pass the Ruger plant (green fenced in buliding on the left). When you see the Country Diner also on the left, slow down! you're getting real close. Look on the right side of the road for their small white sign, Rody's Gun Shop. The shop is a little brown building about 250 yards back that lane.

what about the guy that is down stairs from Rileys? I think it is a new guy if he is even still there. I am also looking for one because I have a weak firing pin in my .17HMR.

That was Lewis. There's a guy at Riley's Gun Shop in the small building round back. I talked to him once about a rail mount on my 1187 for a Holo sight. He was capable of doing it but he gave me a turn around time on it something like a month. Never went back and had Henry do it in a week.
I know nothing about how good he is.
