KC Area Gunsmith- Any Recommendations?
Anyone have any recommendations on a good gunsmith in the KC area, preferrably one that specializes in Remingtons?

Re: KC Area Gunsmith- Any Recommendations?
Just about any gun shop has gunsmith services, but I couldn't garuntee excellent results. Try Cabella's, they're about the only place around that would be big enough that they would have to have a decent gunsmith on staff.
If you hear of another decent one, let me know, I would appreciate it.

Actually on the Cafe, several people recommended Mark Pursell. He has a shop near Smithville-his phone is 816-781-9580. E-mail is [email]mpursell@planetkc.com.[/email]
I may give him a try.

Good luck. I have a few bidness cards I have picked up at gunshows, but I wouldn't know who was worth while and who not to recommend.
What are you going to get done? I have a ruger with a stiff trigger, but otherwise is accurate and very dependable.

OK. Its a good thing I didn't show that to a gunsmith, he might have thought I was a pervert or something.

Re: KC Area Gunsmith- Any Recommendations?
I have a Remington 7600 (Pump action .30-06). I have had it for many years and it has been a great gun for me (used it in Montana for mulies and antelope, etc.).
Anyhow this hunting season something happened with the ejector. I had a group of does, and the slide wouldn't cycle the spent brass after I shot. I ended up missing my chance on the rest of the does.
Once I forced the slide open (by gently tapping the forearm grip), I could cycle unfired cartridges in and out just fine. Once I shot a shell again, the slide became jammed again. I haven't shot it since.
I took a cursory look in the action and can't see any broken parts or springs. I don't have time to take it apart myself and would just assume have someone knowledgable look at it.
