I have a 308 model 88 lever action that just recently stopped ejecting shells properly/at all. I live near floresville but will go to San Antonio to have the right person go through it correctly. I also want someone to go over the gun and make sure there is nothing else mechanically wrong. It has been a great gun that my PopPop gave me and I want to use it for many more hunts it's one of the only things I have left and want to have this gun back to the best it can be.

Clean it really good and get any gunk out of the chamber and bolt face. It may need a new extractor plunger or spring. My father in law is not a gunsmith, he's a millwrite by trade, but he is a lever gun expert and owns a couple of 88s. I can get more info from him if you want.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.
