WHMC Guns

I have not dealt with them in a long long time. I had them do some work for me a few times well over 20 years ago, and the last was years ago when I took a brand new Winchester 1300 shotgun that had never been fired. It had an issue with the extractor brand new out of the box, Winchester told me to take it to them because they were the closest authorized warranty gunsmith. The old man through out a lot of foul language and reluctantly took the gun. His issue was that I had not bought the gun there. I understand about not buying a gun from them and them not making money on the sale, but they do get paid for warranty repairs. If he didn't want the responsibility of being an authorized warranty repair dealer, and making that money, then he should not have been listed with the manufacturer. The gunsmith there did fix it without issue, and I was able to pick it up without the old man cussing me out again. His attitude and their prices kept me from ever stepping foot back in their doors. I heard that he has since passed away and his son runs it now, but I haven't been back.
 
Frank is world class and probably the best smith around. Done several things for me and I have nothing but good to say about their gunsmith work. Trust them to do quality work.

Youre bad experience must have been before 2018 ! Lance (who is the owner) purchased this from Walter approximately 2018 . Lance is not related to Walter and he is not his son ! The gunsmiths there are awesome and very knowledgeable in firearms. I will work there from time to time to extra staff for sales that we have during the year . Just came out of black friday which we had people lining up the night before for great sales and they got them !
