Title: Gun Smith That Does Good Stock Work
Post by: Firing Pin on June 24, 2019, 09:18:40 PM: I've finally found a nice rifle for my son, and now I need to shorten the LOP. It is a left handed Ruger M-77 Hawkeye with a wood stock. So I'm looking for a good gun smith that does very good stock work that can cut the butt down and is located in the south sound area. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Give them a call to verify if that's a route you want to take.

I dont know a gunsmith in south sound but will check with my retired Army buddy in Lacey for a recommendation.
