    Never posted on this site before and can't seem to find info on gunsmiths by area. I'm looking for a gunsmith in the Richmond/East Central Indiana area. I've got a Savage 1907 that will not dissassemble but in otherwise beautiful shape. Anyone know of a good person to take this to? I've looked locally at the guys that advertise but most of them are combo shops "Guns/Autobody/Paint/Diaper Service"...

    You could probably try Big Daddy's over on Rt.1 by Hagerstown. They do some gunsmithing. It's on the SW corner of RT.1 and Rt.38

    Thanks. I've watched every video online I could find but I think something is physically jammed internally. I've tried soaking it, tried the wooden dowl in the barrel and trying to push the slide back. The problem I'm having is to take the gun apart the slide has to be locked to the back and the safety pushed up. I can pull the slide back, I can operate the safety, individually, but not at the same time. The safety won't budge with the slide pulled to the rear.

    Thanks for the help though.

    Try this guy, he's in Richmond. I found out about him in an Indiana outdoor publication [The-Gad-A-Bout].
