Hello Folks, just acquired an older Citori that has been well used and would like to have a gunsmith in the Winnipeg area take a look at it. Suggestions please? Thanks
 
Man oh man,

Welcome to the suck, lol

I moved to Winnipeg recently myself. There are no “Gunsmiths” in the area.

I needed some gunsmith work myself, but couldn’t find anyone but a fraud.

BE WARNED - the president of the “firing line gun club” claims to be a gunsmith, and he also has a yellow pages add advertising as one. He is not licences and has no shop. Strictly kitchen table jobs.

Been thinking about reporting him to the RCMP actually.
 
This may not be what you wanted to hear but.....in 2004 while living in the 'peg I bought a 16 gauge Browning Citori. Decided I wanted a pad on it so I asked around for a gunsmith in Winnipeg. Got the name of some guy, gave him the gun. Went back two week later, gave him the money and took my gun home. I was so appalled by the job, I didn't even want him to try to fix it. Didn't want him near my gun. So, because I traveled to Ontario regularly for work, I started looking around the GTA. I found a guy who did my Citori job perfectly, but more importantly, opened my eyes to what COULD be done with guns. That was the start of my obsession with finding and restoring older (1880 to 1939 era) SxS shotguns.

There is no one in Winnipeg. Find a good guy elsewhere ( ask for recommendations here) and send him the gun. BTW, what needs doing? Send it to a guy who regularly works on twin barrel guns.
 
Have you tried RDP gunsmithing in Duguld. There is Hi-pro precision out in Brandon, when I asked if he does repairs, he can if he can get parts.
 
Graham Perry, Salt Lake Guns at Hanley, Saskatchewan - is your nearest Browning authorized service. (306) 544-2999
He owns Hanley Sporting Grounds, the first local Sporting Clays layout.
 
If there is nothing wrong that you know of , and it locks up tight, give it a cleaning and go shooting. If it isn't broken don't fix it.
 
I used to have a Miroku 800 trap gun, identical to the Citori. I took the stock off to check the innards, and IIRC it was pretty easy. Just use good screwdriver bits that fit perfectly and be careful, that's all.
