Afternoon guys, my dad recently told me a story. I'm going to tell it here as context and entertainment. Ultimately however the point of my post is to request suggestions for a gunsmith in DFW area, ideally Arlington/Fort Worth.
When he was a kid, he was visiting his GrandDaddy and brought his bow to practice. Well his Grand Daddy tried it out and promptly broke it in half while pulling back on the string. As a way to repay him, he agreed to split the cost of a new shotgun with my dad.
So my dad goes out and gets a CBC model 151 single shot break open 12 gauge. All excited to shoot it, he goes out for his inaugural hunt with it, and the first trigger pull it goes click and nothing happens.
His dad digs into it and seems to think there is a problem with the firing pin. Makes several attempts at fixing it, unsuccessfully, and ultimately they end up putting the gun in the closet and there it's sat ever since.
I would love to be able to get it fixed and working and give it to him for Christmas. Do y'all have any suggestions of where I could take it to get checked out and fixed ? The action and barrel are spotless. It's never been fired and has lived its entire life indoors. Somewhere along the way the stock was cracked, so it will need a new stock as well.
