Left barrel won't fire--where to send? #36305 04/17/07 03:14 PM

My Zephyr boxlock was balky sometimes, now the left barrel refuses to fire. It has sentimental value, so I would like to send it to somebody good. The last gun I had a problem with I brought to NE Arms, but we know that is no longer an option. Recommendations ? thanks Rick "Sometimes too much to drink is not enough" Mark Twain

It used to happen occasionally (maybe a light hit) now it is constant. I can see the tip of the firing pin as well. "Sometimes too much to drink is not enough" Mark Twain

He was recommended by other members of this forum and I am very happy I sought him out to fix my double when I had a broken firing pin. Here is a link to a thread you might wish to read regarding Kirk. http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbt...e=0&fpart=1
