Can anyone recommend a good gunsmith in the Omaha area?  I have used Karl Jarl gunsmith services and had no problems with their work but am curious if there are any other or better gunsmiths I can take my pistols to.

I am having troubles with my Ruger MKIII  with the bolt returning to battery (it gets caught up and doesn't fully return w/o a tap of the finger) and it will probably be cheaper to just have a gunsmith work on it than to ship it back to Ruger.

Thanks for any suggestions

I've asked other people on this forum the same question on gunsmithing in the Omaha area, and all replied that there is no one in the area that they would take their firearms.  But that was a couple of years ago.  Think there is a good one in Fremont (forgot his name), and do believe he does 1911's, then again there is a long waiting list for his services.

Have you stripped (to include pulling the receiver off the grip) and cleaned it?  That seems to fix the majority of the problems I have had with my Mk III.

I believe http://www.cylinder-slide.com/ is the gunsmith you are thinking of in Fremont. 

There is another gunsmith in Fremont ..  Maple Creek Gunsmithing...   (402) 721-1170

Not sure if this will help you, but I found out that my 22/45 mk3 hates wet lube. I disassembled mine and cleaned everything.I used Remm-Drilube that sprays on then dries to a dry film. Wipe off excess and reassemble. Supposed to be a Teflon based product.

Also, make sure that you fully  seat your mags. You should here a click when pressing on the bottom of the mag with your thumb. Don't seat mags with your palm.

And, mine only likes CCI mini mags so far.
