I heard he's out building a wall around his shop. Something about making gunsmithing great again......

He did great job on my Remington 700 few years back.
If you can't get hold of him on the phone,stop by DJ's guns in Bothell. He should be there every Wednesday.

I personally have an RBros (Elma) 300 WM (360-791-4741). Travis knows his stuff!!!!

Also, you can get a hold of Mike Johnson at Hells Canyon Armory (Wenatchee). He has some really good things happening!! I think I will be trying one of his carbon barrels this year sometime.

Post by: bobcat on December 15, 2016, 01:05:34 PM: Surprising to hear. I've never used him, or even met him, but I've seen that Mike Palazzo recommended on here numerous times.

Post by: cardinalguns on December 16, 2016, 10:55:55 AM: Yes, at one time Mike was a great gunsmith.

His eyesight is failing him, and he has lost his manual dexterity. I had to catch him to keep him from falling backwards in his shop once. I watched him remove scope caps with a pair of pliers and completely scar the bluing with zero regard to the damage he had done.

I will let the photos do the rest of the explaining.
