I bought a BEAUTIFUL Charles Daly O/U skeet gun, made the mistake of taking it to the gunsmith at Gander Mountain in Iowa City to remove the ejector springs and install a mammoth ivory front bead. Got the gun back, and had difficulty with the safety lever. Finally got it off, and the gun doubled! (REALLY powdered the bird!) Took it back, and was informed the safety spring had broken. OVER A YEAR LATER went back, and they still hadn't gotten a spring, nor had they assembled the gun. Since I couldn't wait 3 days for them to fix it, accepted cased gun & bag o' parts. Had local gunsmith in AZ assemble it, at which time it was discovered that THREE springs were broken. Asked him to make replacements, and was told that they don't make replacement springs due to liability issues!
Does anyone know of a gunsmith, preferably in AZ, who knows how to make springs and is willing to do so? I naively thought making springs was a routine part of gunsmithing!
