Snyper - I too noticed OP mentioned gunsmith. However, not all gunsmiths are gunsmiths. We all know there are no national standards or licensing boards. That smith may not be familiar with the Browning design. I have a gunsmith friend who doesn't know how to use a lathe or milling machine. Some guys are just armorers who can fix or adjust some parts. Heck, the guys in the blackpowder community wouldn't be considered gunsmiths but darn if they aren't better gunstockers or artists (inlays, wire inlay, engraving, metal fabrication, relief carving, finishers, patchbox makers) than my meagre skills can accomplish. Heck, some non-school guys here at this forum know more about some topics than I do and I've been to most armorer schools too. I'm glad they're here and sharing their knowledge freely.
BTW, I recently met a graduate from the Colorado School of Trade. It doesn't enjoy the reputation that the school I attended does, but he's a great businessman and has at least eight CNC machines that he owns. He also has an EDM machine. He's a gunsmith/businessman who isn't starving to death. Kudos to him.
wyboo - please post pics. The crew here is pretty good at these things. We've got some experienced gunsmiths here, some very experienced hobbyists and a overall great members who will help.
