Curious to see if there are any Gun (or Mauser) Smiths in South Mississippi?

Preferably near Hattiesburg in General.
I have a 7mm mauser, which is I believe a Model 1895 Short Rifle,l that was handed down to me.  The rear triggerguard screw is seized and partially stripped (not my doing).  I would like to get the seized screw removed without damaging the action, I'd in turn order a replacement screw.

Although the rifle wasn't as kept up as it should have been, it is in working order.  The bore has a very light layer of surface rust, but the rifling seems solid.  I would really love to find a reputable gunsmith in the area to take care of the screw issue and give the rifle some TLC.  
The rifle is not worth much $ wise, but it has sentimental value.  I would like to keep the rifle in as much "as is" shape, except a removing any surface rust (inside or out), removing/replacing the triggerguard screw, and minor fitment issues with the stock.  

Anyone in South Miss know of a reputable gun smith?

I would make the drive to Dixie Precision Rifles in Brandon.  They have a Haas CNC center and specialize in F-class rifle builds but have done the most mundane gunsmith work for us that we could not do ourselves.  All at a reasonable price.  They have a high quality bore scope and the ability to test fire and check group size.  The Britts are a top notch family.  Give them a call before you drive to make sure they are in the office.
