Misc Looking for a recommendation for a gunsmith in the Greater Vancouver area

Rusty Wood was my go-to for my levers but he's booked up from now 'till retirement. Mostly for lever actions and shotguns but can do pistols, too.

He does a good job but he takes a VERY long time.

Really, he did it for mine in 3 days. Then again, it wasn't a very complicated job so maybe it was very quick.

I just called him a couple days ago to get a rifle looked at. Said he’s available in January as it’s prime hunting season. Mentioned a guy in Langley who was good died then another guy down the street from him retired so seems to be slim pickings
