Gunsmith Reccomendation - California

[5_Is_Alive]

Can anyone reccomend a trusted Gunsmith for the Southern California area? I can Google one but a recommendation would trump anything a search engine comes up with...

Need to get a 32-20 WCF inspected.

Thanks,

Jason

Probably not too many Southern Californians on this board...

I'll give it a little bit longer then, Google here I come.

Hi, try Jim Hoag in Canoga Park. He does a lot of custom 1911 work but also takes on general gunsmithing jobs also. Please give him my regards from the Midwest!

Bolsa gunworks in the LA area is a good place too. I think it's off of the 405?
I have not heard much good about Duncan's in the San Marcos area. Some scary stories from that place, but some okay one's too.
I have also heard that Don Gussler in the Santee area, way south, is a good guy.

Is this the shop you're referring too? It's located in Westminster (Orange County).Bolsa Gunsmithing
If so, that's even closer to home...
UPDATE: Turns out that Bolsa is also a warranty service center:

Yup Jason, that's the place, Bolsa. They are a 'west coast warranty for Beretta shotguns as well.
I had a shotgun sent to them for warranty work and they did a superb job.
Never had any handgun work though so I can't make a statement like that.
Lemme know if you go there, I'd like some feedback on their handgun work.

It feels really good to know there are some SoCal people on here.

Thanks for the recommendation Talon. Sounds like another go-to Smith for the west coasters!

Will surely let you know how it goes with them. Thanks again for the info.
