I'll need to find a good local smith that can work on old firearms and that is reliable. Any recommendations will be helpful. Thanks. Last edited by Mike Harrell; 12/03/25 09:00 AM.

His wife and son work in the business too. Nice folks. About 15 miles south of Danville, VA. Probably about 1 1/2 hours from Winston-Salem. Last edited by playing hooky; 12/04/25 10:27 AM.

Several years before his passing Jim had taken in a nephew, Taylor, to train to work on the old vintage guns. He is a very easy-to-talk-to fellow that I have heard good things about, and have dealt with personally once or twice. It might be an option for you to check out. It should be under a three hour drive. Best wishes on your move. https://www.facebook.com/DarlingtonGunWorksInc/ May God bless America and those who defend her.
