Hi all,
I hope this is in the right section, but as the title asks, are there any gunsmiths here in Canada (preferably near Ottawa, but probably not likely) that have experience with the Winchester M1897? Got my hands on one of Marstar's new ones and I'd like someone with more experience give it a once-over and maybe polish up the action.
Thanks for the help guys.

So it's a Winchester 1897 clone not a Winchester 1897 ? Not really the same gun . The only parts to polish would be the guide rails on the bolt and the race that the rails slide in
 
I changed the title to reflect that it's for a Chinese copy. I wasn't aware that there was any difference, as I would expect a gunsmith to use as much care on a copy than the real thing... Structurally they should be identical though.
 
Often Chinese copies are a bit fatter than original versions, so structurally identical is not always the norm.
Originals are often made with better steel and more finishing, hence slimmer...and I've got a Norc in the safe, works fine...no prejudice here.
