My 15-2 is out of time, their is a severe lack of gunsmiths here in North Iowa. We have a very talented DW smith, but he has become very hard to track down. Any suggestions on what can be done/who to send it to?  I keep shooting it, but only do so by my self so I dont have to worry about copper and lead striking a shooting buddy.

Have you taken it apart and given it a good cleaning and lube? Sometimes a good clean/lube will work wonders. I'd try that first before sending it out.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I would use the AJT  procedure to open it up, clean and lube, and compare what yours looks like versus what you are seeing in the pictures. 

Way too many of these guns were last shot 20 years ago, then put away to let oil, dust, powder residue, etc. harden into petrified crud.

With DW timing issues my first step ,always, is to check the top sideplate screw . If it is not tight ,it will not time.
