I can't remember if I posted this over here or not. I have a newly purchased LC Smith Trap grade that has been restocked. The gun seems to be in great condition and is all originally with the exception of a Fajen stock. I'm looking to have the stock refinished, metal reblackened and case hardened, and just a few other small things (stock cut with a period correct plate, or a Silvers pad added). I live in GA. I considered Turnbull but they are ridiculously expensive. Right now I'm leaning towards Bill Schwarz in Elijay GA, but I figured I'd rack your brains before I pull the trigger.

Btw. Anyone know an easy way to post an image from an iPhone?

My favorite shotgun restoration 'smith is Buck Hamlin of Pevely, Mo. His work is excellent+++, and he especially likes Elsies and Lefevers. However, he usually has a 12 to 15 month backlog of work, so you will have to wait in line. His work is worth waiting for...

He has done several restorations for me, and I've been very pleased.
