I have a older Remington 700LA action and a Bartlein barrel blank, but am having trouble locating a gunsmith that can thread/chamber and crown the barrel with a lead time in single digit months, not years. (One smith I've used in the past has a 3 year lead time.) This is a simple job, 6.5 Creedmore with a standard neck, no muzzle threading/brake, no action trueing, but the chambering must be done to competition/benchrest standards. I will pillar/epoxy bed the action and barrel.
I would prefer a MD/DE/PA based smith, but would ship out if necessary. Has anyone had this type of work done recently that they are very pleased with from a smith with a reasonable lead time? If so, I would appreciate a reference.
If you are a MD/PA/DE based gunsmith and do this kind of work on a regular basis, please feel free to PM me. Thank you.
