Could also ask at Doc Neeley's gun store over on 8th street (I think). I've used Hi-Caliber and always get good service and work.

My stepdad uses Mike Nelson for his competition shotgun stuff.

There's Dan(I think) Clowers in Renton, he's supposedly awesome.
There's Mike Pallazo who is a legend down in Maple Valley or Black Diamond. Can't remember. He builds rifles for the Camp Perry shoots.

Post by: AWS on May 06, 2011, 07:31:25 PM: Jacob Lenz at Firemasters Firearms has done very nice work for me. He's done a Sako extractor on my 722, a stock repair and refinish on my SxS, and a couple of trigger jobs for me. I'm pleased with his work.

RBROS I am looking to have some trigger work done...nothing major but I have a fear of taking my guns just anywhere and never seeing them again or faulty work so that is why I have asked for input from the pros :)
