Title: Puget sound gunsmith
Post by: fire*guy on September 13, 2018, 12:11:16 PM: I'm looking for a quality gunsmith in the tacoma / puget sound area that could install a threaded muzzle-brake and do a trigger job on my centerfire rifle.

Post by: cardinalguns on September 13, 2018, 04:11:19 PM: Thanks for the reference Bob, but I do not have a lathe. A job this critical would require a lathe and the ability to thread the muzzle perfectly in line with the bore.

Post by: powderbounder on September 14, 2018, 08:16:44 AM: I also had C.A.R. Firearms out of Kent,Wa do a brake for me. Stand up guys and they did a great job. Was recommended by a friend that also was very pleased with the fit and finish of his brake. Turn around time was really quick. Which was very nice. PB

Post by: follow maggie on September 15, 2018, 04:59:26 PM: Another vote for Ed Lapour in Bremerton. He’s done a bunch of jobs for me over 15-18 years & always does a good at a fair price.
