I was just wondering if anyone knows any good gunsmith or infact a real gunsmith( people say they r guns smiths but are infact not!) near Richmond, Virginia or in Virginia period?

He isn't the closest, but if it were me, I would take it to Richard Fletcher if he is accepting work. Fletcher Custom Pistols. If you are looking for a long gun smith I would still recommend giving him a call and asking him if he knows someone in your area.

i have a remington 700 sps tactical .223 i wanted to get the lugs lapped, a tactical bolt handle installed and it bedded into a b&c a2 stock, and then if that turns out well get the barrel threaded if i can find out if a suppressor will fit the heavy barrel.

I think there are 2 places in Ashland, up the street from GreenTop. One claims to be a 1911 guru. My ass. Had some kid try to do a trigger job on my STI and told me hammer follow is normal.

That was the day I learned how to do my own.....
