Gunsmith needed near Sugarloaf or Frederick

[MSC]

Hello all, first post here.

I have a problem I can't fix and need a good gunsmith. Live near Urbana/Hyattsville MD. Finding a really good gunsmith is hard and been burned a few times when living in VA.

Any recommendations would be great.

The problem is that I got a patch and the rod stuck in the barrel of a .204. I mean really really stuck. Have tried everything including vice grips and light taps with a mallet, and don't want to damage the barrel. A little embarrassing perhaps but know my mechanical limits...time for someone with a serious tool bench and even more experience.

Thanks for name of someone that is legit and good in your experience. I'll drive a bit to someone that is worth it.

Walt is a great and I recommend him to most people most of the times;

Ping him and see if he has a solution for you. Great thing about him is that he'll tell you no if it's a bad idea or out of his realm.

After him I'm out of smiths to suggest.

Maybe a little far for you, but I have total faith in John Walker at Duffy's and John Carduner at Freestate.

Thanks! Just sent him a note and will see.

Very good, thanks. If the other guy does not work out, will try Freestate. Have heard of them before. Leesburg is just across the river so maybe someone there too.

This is killing me...this little rifle and round is excellent, love it. .204 is the flattest shooting round I've ever tried and perfect for varmints and other little pests. It is a CZ527, the Varmint model. Must get it perfect!

Other options would be Tim Hafer in Hagerstown (he's an IP) and Ed Harren located in ijamsville.


I hear good things about Walt, Tim has done several jobs for me and I've been very happy with his work and Ed has come highly recommended to me for a rifle project I've been contemplating.

Good luck!

Hafer's Gunsmithing in Hagerstown. Top quality work, no BS.

Tim Hafer can probably get the rod and patch out in about five minutes.
