Re: Howa Rebarrel Who Does It? ALl the smiths around here are old timers withough metric geared machines. I have actually thought about taking a smith class and buying me a lathe and mill so I could do all my own work. I figure I could get all the machinery for around $10K.

Re: Howa Rebarrel Who Does It? Nah I wasn't jumping you or anything. I know its much easier to build on a Remington or Savage action by a long shot. I just want a howa action custom rifle. I don't know why. The thought has been brewing in my head for a while now. I have one Howa that...

Re: Howa Rebarrel Who Does It? Thanks guys. I am talking to Mark Gordon here on the forums about doing a couple for me. He had one posted that looked great. Seems he is going to try to rethread the action to standard remington threads so that I can use standard thread barrels. I can't...

Re: Howa Rebarrel Who Does It? Thanks, I am new here an trying to find my way around. I saw a few things over in the gunsmithing forum about it. I will give the a call.

I have a Howa 7mm rem mag I am wanting to have built on. I picked the gun up for little of nothing. All my local smiths say they don't work with howas or weatherby vangaurds. If the price isn't outragious I have a 308 I want to do the same thing to. Anyone know where I can get the work...
