Hi all. As you can see, I'm new to these forums. I recently moved to NOLA and acquired a Gew. 88 Commission Rifle, probably made about 1890. I have been researching this firearm quite a bit online and can tell that I need to have the barrel and chamber checked out by a qualified gunsmith before remotely considering taking it out to the range.
I have learned the hard way in the past that you really gotta take milsurp rifles to gunsmiths who know their history and subject matter extremely well -- otherwise, you get incorrect and misleading information.
Does anyone have any recommendations on qualified gunsmiths in NOLA? I'd be willing to drive an hour or so outside of town if you know of anyone a bit farther away.
Thanks!
