I have a Marlin 39 that needs repair. It has spent 18 months between two local gunsmiths. Can anyone recommend a gunsmith that they have had personal experience with that is not only a top-notch gunsmith but also has good communications skills?

Bobs Gun Shop in Norfolk has a gunsmith. I know that’s not where you want to go but it’s an option. I had them repair a rifle for me once and they got it taken care of in a timely manner.

Update: I inquired with Bob’s about fixing a lever gun I need repaired. They aren’t even accepting anything for their gunsmith right now. They must be jammed

I don't have  a contact number but have heard Sodan Armament (?) does great work,
he used to be in New Kent, not sure if he still is,

I've seen his work on a  high power, and he did good,


google says he is now in Toano,

Excellent reputation around here (Central Virginia).
Last time I spoke with him, about 2 months ago, he said he was 12 weeks out. YIKES!

Late to the party here, but I will second Sodan Armament.  He moved into the Toano general Store on Rt 60.

While I didn't have any repair work done, I did have him go through an old (pre-64) Win 94 that I picked up.  I wanted to make sure it was sound.  I thought he did a very nice job with it - pretty quick too.
