HI,

I am a new member that has shot SXS shotguns for over 40 years. I have always lusted after a Scottish round action and may finally be in a position where I can afford to buy a "good" used one. The older Dickson's I see that I can afford are quite old and I am leery about buying from a US dealer or auction site because I don't have anyone locally (SE MI) that I believe could thoroughly and knowingly check out one, much less fix anything that was needed.

Do you all have any suggestions about knowledgeable gunsmiths that could check out such a shotgun for me during the inspection period? And, or, do you have any additional advice regarding the purchase and inspection of an older round action?

Thank you. And, Happy New Year to all.

Dick
