Fix my gun Looking for Experienced Gunsmith-BC
Good morning folks,
As titled, I'm looking for recommendations for an experienced gunsmith preferably in BC, although I would be willing to travel.
Back in '23 Kelowna had a devastating wildfire that destroyed well over 100 homes, mine and several friends of mine included. In those houses unfortunately was recently frozen, now irreplaceable handguns. Pictured is mine and in very poor condition.
I am looking for a gunsmith to attempt to repair mine, girsan regard MC in 9mm and two iwi jericho's for a friend, both in much better condition than mine, one in .40 and one in 9mm.
If you have any experience with your local gunsmith, please rave them to me. We were going to go through Dlask, but unfortunately for us, fortunately for him, he is now enjoying a well-earned retirement.
I'd rather take them in person, but I would be willing to ship if the right gunsmith doesn't happen to be on my doorstep.
Cat tax including feet in lieu of my nasty feet. I apologize.

Even if you could by some miracle cosmetically repair that gun the metal itself is toast. That barrel will explode if you could ever even chamber a round, whatever heat treat might've been in that barrel or frame is gone and it's the equivalent to rebar now.
You could possibly source some parts to replace, but you cannot replace the frame as that is the regulated entity of the gun.
