Gunsmithing Smith recommendation near Jacksonville Florida

[premierjax]

Hey guys looking for a gunsmith other than GPI here in the Jacksonville area. Any ideas?

I have used GPI for cerakote and was really pleased.

They gave a good military discount, and did a good job.

What are you having done? I'd personally send it out if you are talking about a rebarrel.

bolt knob, blueprint and maybe threaded for a brake

Are you using the same barrel?

Send it to Chad Dixon in South Dakota.

problems with GPI? I used them for FFL transfer and talked to one of their peeps about them about building a rifle.

Dana English. Built me a 0.25 MOA 6.5 Creedmoor. HIGHLY recommend. Outstanding work. He is about 3.5 hours south of Jacksonville.

I live in the jax area... there are no smiths close that do that kind of work. I use SAC in Ohio..

Personally distance doesn't matter to me. If the guy is a reputable gunsmith, and can do the work I'd send it to anywhere in America. I wouldn't send gunsmith work out side the US, as we have excepting in rare occasions concerning a double rifle or drilling great guys that do great work.

If I didn't live near a gunsmith I liked, I'd be willing to ship my box of parts to him and ask for what I wanted.

You won't save time or money dropping it by a douche bag local, when you can have one of the best accuracy gun smiths in America work on it.

Greg Tannell is also wonderful.
