I have an old (as in 1897) LC Smith shotgun that belonged to my grandfather. However, at some point it was inexpertly repaired/restored and I'd like to see about getting it restored properly - however, finding someone to work on an old L.C. Smith side-by-side is apparently pretty hard to do :) The gun is functional, and safe, but is in rough shape condition wise.
Anyone have any suggestions on where to try? I am in Lubbock, but can ship the gun off anywhere if needed.

It is going to be expensive but check out Turnbull.

Any firearm I value, especially a shotgun, is going to ADM Gun & Rifle in Southlake (D/FW area).
