I would highly recommend taking anything to Briley for gunsmith work. They do excellent work there.

FishDfly,
Yes Briley's is great, but they aint cheap. You don't say what you need done, so is harder to know who to send you to, but:
When I needed the action bedded and the barrel floated on my Weatherby, I took it to Briley's. They did a great job, and I spent a bundle.
If I need a take-down cleaning, I take it (pistol, rifle, or shotgun) to Carters'.
If I need something done on a pistol or long gun that Carter's cannot or will not do (like a trigger job), then I have the number of the guy that does all their outside work for them. He is an individual that works out of his backyard shop, and his prices reflect that. His name is "Gary" and his number is 281-847-5732. He has drilled out screws with stripped heads for me as well as a trigger job on a 9mm.
If the number does not work for you, leave me a message and I will find his card at the office.
good luck,
fredtoo

Thanks, when it comes to guns I hate to post too much information as you never know who might be reading.
Need a firing pin replaced in 1 rifle, need a trigger job done on a double barrel muzzle loading shotgun and have two old Colt pistols that need some attention.

Fish, that kinda work sounds like it is right up Gary's alley. I don't know about Briley, but Carter's will not do trigger jobs (liability) and they refer customers who want one to Gary. He is at
GL Gun Works
Gary Lucario
281-847-5732
He is out a lot because he is a "gun runner" for Carter's (picks up and delivers guns to be repaired at all Carter's sites)

FishDFly- I would highly recommend a gunsmith down in Texas City. I know its probably not in your area, but he does very good work. I've used him numerous times. If you want, he can make a gun from scratch to fit you. His name is Al Baker. I'll have to get back with you about his number if you are thinking about using him.
