I want to know who told you that Robert Gradous was out of business. That is not true he has always been in business and he will be for many years. I would like anyone who has heard this to please call me on my cell at 386-916-1546
Robert decided to keep all his AI barrels in house
Thank you...
Most of these parts were picked up at matches. That's the good thing about shooting his rifles
Thank You

I appreciate your generosity
If your going to learn you might as well learn from the best.
I spent another weekend with Robert to learn a little more on what it takes to build a one hole rifle.
Saturday morning came early....4:00 am we were in the shop getting ready. We went over lathe setup and how extremely important...
What a match!!!
Did anyone not have a great time? Everyone was in a great mood and everyone had fun! I saw rookie shooters make their longest hits ever. I saw rookies out shoot pros. I even saw a 13 year old girl kick some dudes butt!!
The match was amazing and I believe it's here to stay...
308 Win barrels in stock. Can cut from 18-26 inches.
Many Bartein barrels of various contours in stock and ready to ship if your looking for a quality barrel blank.
Well ask some of the others top smiths (like tooley) maybe you'll find one with the answer you want to hear.
As far as mixing powder....you sir said that you shoot David Tubbs load. He mixes powder for the XC. Always has. That sir is from the horses mouth.
99.9% statistics....really???? Look...
One eye
While I'm sure you feel it's not a pressure issue...99.99% of the time it is.
And based on some of your statements you have a couple red flags that signal potential pressure issues.
Tooley was spot on about bushing/proper size firing pin hole.
1. You have a barrel with 100 rounds on...
All triggers fail in tactical match shooting. The debate is never ending on which is best. It's a ford Chevy thing.
That being said some of the very best match shooters in this country still shoot Jewell's
Francis
Morris boys
Preston
Sommers
Long
The list goes on and on
Send your Surgeon bolt to Gretan rifles and have him bush the bolt. It's cheap and you'll have it back in a week. He's the best
Jewell will charge you 40.00 more than likely for the repair.
Jewell triggers are great triggers but if you oierce a primer it's broken. You won't pierce another...
Just wanted to give Robert a big THANK YOU!!!
My 6.5x47 with now over 2000 rounds still allowed me to pull off a third place finish at the K&M match this past weekend.
Robert is one of of a great guy and smith
