Hi folks, first visit, first post!
I have zero gunsmith experience outside of normal take-down and cleaning of modern shotguns. Evidently, the local 'smith doesn't have any experience either judging from the hack job he did when drilling and tapping a shotgun recently.... I'm very intimidated by the exploded view of the 99 and don't think I can handle this...
I inherited an old Savage 99 that needs a good takedown and cleaning (inspection, maintenance and tune-up) and really needs some trigger work. It has a very very heavy trigger with lots of creep. I can't shoot it worth a darn because of this.
Do we have any good gunsmiths here or some recommendations? I'm in SE Missouri and have a feeling I'm going to have to ship this off.
Your thoughts, please!
