Re: looking for a builder

A month to a year depending on who you want, use the search function and start calling the smiths you see that keep comin up.

You might also try posting this is in the gun smithing area, they hang out over there.

PM HSSS. Great quality and quick turnaround time.

Accurate Ordnance.

They are doing some work for me.

Look up BookHound he can talk with you about details and so forth. I went with them becuase of their excellent work/reviews but becuase of rather quick turn around times. I am sure turn around times change and depending on what is asked for in services but generally they are pretty quick from what i have heard.

All of the good ones seem to be victims of their own success. Most of the wait times I have been quoted recently were anywhere from 4 months to 9 months for work like that.

Buy a Dremel, and find a machine shop to thread your barrel...

I second that. Mark is currently working on my 700 which is getting a comp-lete work up. He's been great to work with to get it to my specifications. I should be getting it back soon!

Aztek Arms?

Nah, just kidding. I wouldn't suggest him for anything. You might not ever see your stuff again...

Go with GAP...
