San Antonio gunsmith needed

[megafatcat]

I have an old SxS 20ga Newport CN. Bought at a gun show.

It needs some springs, it gives a too light strike on one barrel, causing occasional misfires. I figure a good cleaning could only help also, while it is apart. Can anyone here recommend a gunsmith? Also, about how much should I budget for this? Not expecting a quote, just a ballpark figure.

Thank you.

Contact Alex at Dreadnaught Industries, he's south of SA off of 16; but you won't find a better gunsmith.

If you can't travel that far, then I'd suggest The Powderhorn although I don't have firsthand experience with them.

Wayne at Hoguns had a great gunsmith (Cris), but I think that shop's closed for good.

+1 on the Powderhorn, I haven't personally used Dreadnaught but I trust magormadmax.

I've got lots of experience with SxS. I'm sure there's plenty of competent smiths in SA that could handle it but if you're up my way...

Does anyone know the cheapest place in San Antonio to have night sights installed on a handgun?

Just to confirm that Hoguns is gone. I don't know where Cris went but he was one of the best 'smiths in SA!

Cheers! M2

Be advised,

Powderhorn does offer gun smithing services, however much of their work is sent out to a third party. My friend dropped his 226 off to get worked on and it was sent off. Quality repair at a reasonable price though.

Thanks PFChardin, I didn't not know that and I am not sure if I like it or not...

Luckily, I am willing to travel the 30+ miles from where I live to take any work I need to Alex at Dreadnaught; at least that way I know a competent gunsmith is doing the work!
