I am considering re-barreling a bolt action Rifle. Know any good gunsmiths for this type of activity??

Action is 1909 Argentine, currently 6.5X55 swede but twist is to slow 1 in 10, needs to be about 1 in 8.5.

Thanks

Joe

LOTS of questions

What bullet weight are you wanting to shoot?
Target or game?

Same cartridge?

What weight barrel?

How close to home??

Mike

p.s. the one in ten should shoot the light bullets well.

Somehow my reply did not get sent. I am in New York and have 9 custom built rifles. There are plenty of competent rifle smiths in the New York, PA and NJ area.

Where in the Adirondacks are you? I keep my Seaplane in Fort Edward, Herb Coates may be near you.

Give me a call or E-mail me if you want to chat. I have used 6 different rifle builders and would be happy to give you some suggestions.

Regards, Bob

I have had Jim Kobe in Bloomington Mn do a number of rebarrel jobs for me, more than 10.
The results have been excellent in every case.
