I need help!!!
« on: January 29, 2011, 08:21:48 AM »
Does anyone know of a Gunsmith that does machine work around Indianapolis???? I need a Mauser action squared (receiver front faced) and a barrel removed from an Eddystone 1917 receiver. the Eddystone barrel needs a relief cut cut around the barrel before it can be removed... Any help would be greatly appreciated. The Mauser I`m building a .257 roberts with and the 1917 I`m either going to leave 30/06 or build a .308 or .270. haven`t made up my mind yet.  Thanks, Gary

Check the Outdoorsman, On the south end of Greenwood on SR135. They have and do Gunsmithing (I have not used them for gun smithing) They may be able to help though.

I would ask our site sponsor Bryan from BFG Design. It's likely he'll know of a reputable gunsmith in that area. ;)

Thanks, Dinny

Thanks parson, at least he`s fairly close. I called but got the dreaded answering machine so I left him a message.
