Recommend a good revolver smith in NC?

[18DAI]

I'm in need of a good gunsmith. the talented fellow I've used for years passed away.

I tried another, suggested by a shooting buddy.......but he did a poor trigger job on my 10-6 357.

So now I am in search of a talented revolver smith to undue this botched trigger work and probably replace the return spring.

Any suggestions are appreciated! I'm in the Greensboro/High Point/Lexington area. Thank you!

What is it about the action work are you not happy with?

Hi 1911Tuner,

The trigger is VERY slow to return. It is also not very....smooth either. And when I picked up the gun, and stated so, he told me that; "you couldn't really do too much with those old S&W's."

I think he either messed up the block or the spring.

The front sight appears very slightly bent now as well. I'd just like a competent smith to go through and fix anything that may have been....butchered. TJ

The sluggish return may be as simple as a new rebound spring, and maybe a good cleanin' and oilin'. I *think* I've got a Wolff rebound spring here. I'll go look and get back to ya.

No got one. Get with Brownells and order a Wolff spring kit. Run it by here and we'll crack that puppy open to see where the worms are.
