Hi Everybody,
I have an older over/under shotgun that isn't functioning as it should. Can anyone recommend a gunsmith in the Denton area?
Thanks!

Howdy howdy. Decided to go with Larry Pockrus because of the amount of glowing recommendations (no slight to the others). He has the shotgun and I'll keep y'all updated. Seemed like a knowledgable and good man. No worries.

Seemed like a knowledgable and good man. No worries. Good Choice. I remember Larry from the days I shopped at NIX's gun shop in Old Lewisville. Curtis Nix was one of a kind. I believe Larry ran it after Curtis passed.

Late in posting this, but I hadn't tested the shotgun since the repair yet. It works like a charm. Larry did a stand-up job, had a quick turn-around, and was very reasonably priced. He's also a character. I would definitely recommend his services.
