I'm near Bel Air, MD, and I need a gunsmith to re-barrel a Savage long action, as well as thread the barrel for a suppressor. I've already got the new Savage, a Criterion barrel, a new barrel lug and a muzzle brake. Don't think the action needs to be trued. Any suggestions on someone who can do a tidy job? Bonus points for actually hitting anywhere near the due date they give me. These are all new parts, no rust, and not mil-surp mystery meat. If it was just a barrel swap, I'd be tempted to try it myself, but the threading needs to be done professionally.
Yeah, I've got a few stories. Barrels that were cut to the wrong length, a revolver that locked up during dry-fire, vise marks on barrels, etc. I'm not trying to be cheap. It should be a straight-forward job, and I want a pro that can knock it out and get it right. Turn-around time is not a big deal, as long as it isn't "forever" or "next decade". I'd rather not mail this to George Gardner - he's gonna laugh - is there a guy within a few hours drive that can handle it?
Thanks, Dutch
