Title: Gunsmith in Seattle/Tacoma area
Post by: doyourtime89 on July 17, 2011, 01:08:50 PM: I was wondering if anyone knows a good gunsmith in the Seattle/Tacoma area? I am looking for someone to do some trigger work on my Ruger M77 MKII .300 win mag. I bought a Timney trigger and want it put in my rifle.

I cant remember the guys name, but I have seen his business card at Wholesale Sports on the counter. I used to have one but gave it away and keep forgetting to grab a new one :dunno:

Even comes with instructions. I do not know how much more difficult dropping one in a Ruger might be.. but you might want to take a look on the instructions. Mine took no more than 5 min. Would probably save you some time and money too.

They said there is a little filing to be done on the safety with the Ruger so I just want to be safe about it. I figured a few more dollars would be worth knowing its done right. Thank you to everyone that has replied.

At any rate Mike Palazzo is a master gunsmith and he will treat you right. He has done tons of trigger work and builds some of the most accurate rifles in the Pacific Northwest.
