I have a Meriden Fire arm Model 15 22 pump that was passed down from my grandpa. This 22 pump is roughly a 100 years old. It will fire the shell, but will not eject it. The injector arms have worn down and will not catch the rim of the bullet to eject the shell. I would like to keep all original parts if all possible. Do any of you recommend a trustworthy gun smith to fix this? I plan on handing it down to my son when he is responsible enough to not want to sale it.

I was pleased with the work I had done at that place on Main Street in Pineville.

If something doesnt work out there I know the indoor gun range in bolton uses tommy for all their work so they can get it to him but may be cheaper to bring it yourself. Just FYI. Other place is prob good too.

Tommy Butler has done a couple of things for me, all very well. Just drive real slow when going to his office.

I called Tommy, he does not work on old guns just modern guns.

This site seems to carry the parts, they are currently sold out of extractors though. LINK

ah, too bad. I once brought him a scope to mount on a .17 HMR. He wanted to shoot it so bad that he bought ammo and took it to the range and sighted it in for me. Saved me the time and money.
