Title: Need a gunsmith
Post by: jkhbuchanan on April 05, 2013, 03:59:37 PM: does anyone know of a good gunsmith that works on shotguns? I have a Remington 1100 that will fire and kick the shell out but will not chamber another round on its own. Ive cleaned it good checked the rings to make sure the spacing wasn't lined up and cant figure it out. preferably around the Puyallup Tacoma area.

Last I talked to Bernie he was closing up shop. I called about two weeks ago and never got a call back.

His number is 360-691-3146. I don't know if you have to go through Top Guns shop (206-801-7390) but Kelly did a good job for me and test fired the gun to make sure it wokrked.
