Another vote for Phillip Crenwelge. First met him when he was part of the P&P Gunsmithing team, Pat Gottberg of course being the other half and he does great work also. Was at the SE Mn. ATA zone shoot with my son must be close to 20 years ago now and they had their trailer setup at the club in Winona. They were working on mainly P&K guns and my son wanted some work done on his cheap starter shotgun. Phillip stopped working and talked to my son about it and said come back in half an hour. Treated us as if it was a gun that cost 5 figures and charged a lot less then what the price chart on the wall said. And of course the work was perfect.
So the next year when my son decided to convert one of my B. Rizzini target guns into a trap gun we took it to Phillip again, this was when he still lived in Mn. He transformed and tweaked it into a trap clay crushing machine. Couple of years later when my son was 15 he placed class runner up in the 200 singles event at the Mn. State ATA shoot with it.
Been looking hard at the Dickinson single trigger guns wish they were selective triggers though. Seems like most people are pleased overall with the Dickinson guns. Would like to know what Phillip thinks after being inside one.
