Looking for some gun smith service.

I am in the Nashville area and need some gunsmithing services.

I received a Model 94 Winchester 30/30 from my Great-Grandfather when he passed away year before last. He bought the rifle several (more than 20) years ago. While I was on active duty I took it with me out to Ft Bliss TX and a buddy and I did some work on it.

The rifle was in bad shaped and we cleaned it up and did a cold reblue. We also refinished the wood work. As the years passed grand-dad did not use or maintian it much so all of the metal is in less than good shape now. The wood still looks good but I would like to get it reblued and cleaned up. Also when we put it back together i guess something was not right because it now has about a 20lb trigger.

Does anybody have any suggestions on where I can take it within a reasonable distance from north Nashville to get it reblued and the trigger adjusted or what ever it needs?

This will end up being a rifle that I will pass down and as far as I am concered will never leave the family. I want to keep it in operating condition as long as I can.

I'm not sure if he can help you with the finish work, but talk to Jeff Walle up at Guns N Leather. I dealt with him Friday, and he's a great guy. I'm sure he can take care of the trigger issue, and if he doesn't do refinishing I'm sure he knows someone that does.

If you have a bit of patience, Guntroll is a gunsmith and veteran who just moved from Colorado to the Coopertown area last week or so. I don't know if he's found a job here yet and might appreciate the opportunity to get in some work.

Just be advised Coopertown is a well known "speed trap" around here. Be really careful going in and out of there. :P

Jeff does great work. He's worked on a few of my guns and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Be advised that the Mod. 94 Winchester receiver will not blue correctly with the hot caustic process. It will be sort of a purple color. I have sucessfully blued one using the rust blueing method. This process is easy to do but is labor intensive.
