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.

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.
Need chamber castings done on 2 rifles I have.

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
