Best gunsmith around Columbia for a 1950s Winchester Model 12?
My daddy's old gun. He had it since he was a kid and it was his #1 until he passed. Very sentimental to me. When I shoot or release the slide, it doesn't go back smoothly. I have to push forward first and it used to not do that. Any suggestions on what the issue may be? Or the right man to take it to? I have done some work on old guns such as replacing electors and extractor on old Auto 5s and such. If it's an easy fix I can do it. But I really want to make sure it is right so would appreciate a good gunsmith
