Need a gunsmith in Southern California who has extensive knowledge of foreign (spanish) side x sides. I have an AYA#4 built in 1975 in which the tang lever has gone over to the left. Action is tight. Any recommendations?

Not a specialist in Spanish guns, but a very capable smith.

i had one jap and one italian guns that only needed lever spring replacement. if that's so any good smith should be able to do it. it pays to use one with good "word of mouth" endorsements. some of the guys out there can't even turn a screw w/o doing cosmetic damage.

If you don't find someone closer, Dale Tate can certainly be of assistance.

Ditto on that. Freddy Brunner is a-ok. I have used him several times with great success. He was recommended to me by Dan Moore of William Larkin Moore & Co., not a bad endorsement.
