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 |

Steve Durren, located in Adrian, MI.
He is a true gun and rifle maker, specializes in Mauser and Single Shot actions.
PM me and I will send you his #.
He is a member of the GunMakers Guild, very well known for his fine work, and a true gentelman. |

Another top notch rifle maker and member of the ACGG is Dave Norin in Antioch, IL. He has done a lot of fine work on my doubles.

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. |
