Restoration Help
Posted: Tue May 24, 2016 2:15 pm
I recently came into possession of a 12ga Sterlingworth, (standard with extractors) manufactured in 1913. For the most part it is in pretty good shape, however it does need some work.
At some point the original 30 in. barrels were cut to 24 in., the stock has been replaced and the forend refinished in a somewhat unprofessional manner.
I have located new barrels and obtained most of the required hardware and wood I require but I need some recommendations for a really good gunsmith to put this beauty back together.
I live in Salt Lake City, Utah and would prefer someone on this side of the country. However, what I really want is a craftsman I can trust.
I would really appreciate your thoughts and recommendations!!
