Smith Work
« on: June 12, 2005, 03:40:44 AM »
I need help locating a gunsmith that can to metal machine work.   I was surfing web sites, and landed on Riflesinc.com.   Looked at the rifles Lex Webernick was making, and liked the looks.   I have a Rem 700 from Remington's custom shop, with McMillan stock, and an unknown barrel.   It shoots well, and I have no complaints.   I just liked the cosmetic changes that Mr. Webernick had done on the receiver, and bolt.  I am mainly interested in the bolt work, where the bolt arm was scalloped, and the main body was fluted.    How difficult is this, and can anybody recommend a gunsmith.   I will be sending an email to Rifles Inc., but I think he will only do complete rifles, and that would not be cost effective for me.    Thanks,      Curly

While most competant machinists could do that work, many gunshops have trouble justifying the expense of the tooling needed..
