Gunsmithing Need a Gunsmith

[lw8]

I am hoping that someone can point me in the direction of a good gunsmith that works on Mauser actions.

Long story short, I have a Browning Safari bolt action 300 win mag from the 1960s. Back in the day, they were made by FN on Mauser actions.

The action and wood are decent but the barrel has pitting in the bore and needs to be replaced. Additionally, the wood needs some work (refinished, oil soaking around action, recut checkering).

So, I need a smith that can rebarrel, true up the action, reblue...and maybe someone to work the wood over.

I can get the wood done on its own if needed...but the smith will have to match the current barrel contour as the stock is already inletted for the current profile.

Any ideas?

I have a smith I use here who specializes in mauser actions. He builds everything from complete restorations to custom muzzleloaders using the mauser action. Very reasonably priced too.

I did that very same thing to my personal rifle. Send me an email and we can discuss your options.

Jim Kobe is very good. He did a custom 9.3X62 for me and is getting ready to do a 250-3000 custom mauser for me.

This is the 9.3X62 he did for me. Jim is a member of the American Custom Gunmakers Guild. He is prompt and reasonable.
