    Gunsmith Recommendation

    At the range Sunday, my .300 Win Mag Sako extractor in my 721 bolt broke. I'm looking for someone to fix it so I can take it on my elk hunt this fall. I leave on Oct 30 so not much time. I called Ed Vandenberg in Pearland but he is out for a bit. I also emailed Aquila in La Porte but haven't heard back. Anyone have a guy who can hook me up? If I can't get it fixed, it's my 6.5 PRC w/143-ELDx. Not ideal to my way of thinking. I would load up some 140 partitions for my 6.5 PRC if there were any to be bought!

      Don’t use 3rd Coast Ordnance in San Leon. I have twice and was not impressed either time.

          I haven't had to use him, but a buddy of mine had a few barrels chambered by Pete Pieper and highly recommended him. He's up in Hempstead. http://www.precisionbarrelwork.com/

              Blackjack Gunsmithing in Austin is top notch.

                  I've recommended Brian and his guys multiple times on TBH. They've done several jobs for me in the past and I've always been pleased. They do some impressive work.

                      Steve West in Baytown has taken on the project.

                        Second vote for Pete Piper.

                          I’ve used them several times with no complaints

                          I have guns there now as a matter of fact.

                            Well there is probably a lot more work than you think for that job. I am going to say to do the job correctly. They will need to remove the barrel from the gun and remove everything off of the barrel, before chucking it up in a lathe, then cutting the crown. Then putting some kind of finish back on the end of the barrel, or refinish the whole barrel. Then reassembling it. That's not a ten minute job. I would be worried if someone wanted to charge me $30 to $40 to do that job.
