Recommend a gunsmith to re-stock my double and tighten lock up

[Longwalker]

I have a nice german double that doesn't fit me as well as it should, and it has a tiny bit of looseness in the lock up. I would like to re-stock it with less drop and longer stock, and have the lock works tightened up. i used to send jobs like this to Nick Makinson but his has retired. Anybody else you can recommend that is skilled at this type of work?

I highly recommend David Henry, who lives near Bentley, Albereta. He's done great work on some of my high end guns. He is on Gunnutz too.

The ultimate German gunsmith in Canada is Martin Hagn.
I do not know if he is accepting this kind of work at this time.

My understanding is the David Henry closed his business almost two years ago, Ralf Martini no longer does general gun smithing but concentrates on his superb custom creations, and Martin Hagn prefers to build new rifles to order rather than do repair work. Am I mistaken? Any other suggestions?

Ralph, who's website I directed you to DOES prefer to work on new guns (don't we all) but if you ask nicely he certainly will. The work will not be cheap but it will be done right.

Ok thanks I will contact Ralf I did get him to check over and improve a couple of Brno 21h / 22F rifles for me a few years ago, and he certainly did good work.
