Default Edmonton Gunsmith

Didn't have a lot of luck on the search mode. Bought a 20 ga semi for my boy's birthday---took it out last wknd--jams like crazy. Took it apart a couple of times, tried all kinds and sizes of ammo with no luck.

ATA Arms mirage--bought next to new second hand so no recourse there. Have one disappointed little man, hoping someone could direct me to a decent gunsmith.

Thank you

A lot of times a semi requires a very thorough cleaning. sometimes the gas ring get installed backwards as well. Google the gun and model looking for a schematic, take it apart, clean really well, put it together as per the schematic and try it again.

Not sure about Edmonton as I don't live there, but Insight Arms in Lloydminster does decent work.

Did that 3 times. Ron Hendrickson wont touch it being a Turkish gun. Have a feeling I just learned a $550 lesson about buying used guns

Here's the truth. If Rod doesn't feel like doing it, or doesn't know what needs to be done, he will tell you it is a "garbage" or "throwaway" gun. No one in their right mind throws away a $550 gun. Rod wouldn't throw away anything worth $550 either, but he can be flippant with his responses at times. I would contact Pud at Bashaw Sports and ask him who/where he would suggest. You will get a straight answer.
