Need help finding a good gunsmith

[carpsniperg2]

I am looking for a good gunsmith. Some stuff is beyond what I can do. I need a good shop I can trust and send my stuff to. I would love to hear some feedback.

I have a build I will be working up and need a knob installed and a brake added to the rifle.

Thanks...

i have had work done at Mountain shadow Arms in Spokane. he installed a brake on my sendero and also a wyatts mag box and bedded it. he will also be doing a trigger job after this coming hunting season. he is a good guy and has always treated me well.

Thanks for the leads!!!! I love to get feedback on stuff like this from people I can trust. That way my gun does not end up in some basement with a hack saw and wire feed welder

Hey bullblaster did you have the  Shrewd Precision brake put on? I tend to favor the gill style brakes over the ported brakes. If you did how do you like it?

Benchmark in Arlington for a local smith(360)652-2594

I also use Bryant Custom and McMillan, both have built rifles for me. When it comes to some of the best work I have had done, it would be Kampfeld Custom. Kampfelds work is flawless, especially his metal work.

I found the last set of bottom metal for this rifle in the country and told mcmillian I will be ordering there a5. They said they won't put the metal in the stock for me since they did not sell it to me They will inlet the stock and ship it to me but that is it! I am pretty sure I should be able to handle that. If I can't I will send it to whatever smith I have do the brake and the knob. I am wanting to do more of it myself but I want it done right. So if it needs some tweaking I will let someone else play with it.

Kampfeld is only taking small projects, most on remington actions only

I really thought that is who would be working on this gun. Then I READ HIS LIST.

Hard to find anyone that wants to work on anything but remington

[wraithen]

For a bolt knob and a muzzle brake, I can't believe anyone is only willing to work remingtons. This sounds pretty fishy. What's so crazy about these that any good gunsmith wouldn't do the work? Is there something special I don't know about bolt handles and muzzle brakes? Just give them the bolt and barrel and tell them it's for a custom remington.   

[carpsniperg2]

Everything is kinda built off a 700 now days So all there tooling and programs and such are wrote for the Remington stuff. At least that is what I have come to think. A brake is easy and almost any smith can do them. It's find it all at one shop that I am having trouble with.

[wraithen]

Sounds like you need to find a new smith that you can trust. That way he isn't stuck on remingtons.

[carpsniperg2]

Indeed!!! I want one with good feed back. If they are going to start choping and cutting on a rifle with a 1200-1500 value. I want to make sure they are a good shop
