mike todd Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 I need a RELIABLE QUALIFIED gunsmith to "blue print" a custom FARLEY long range tactical rifle. there are chamber /throat issues to correct and ignition is not consistent . looking for someone capable of all aspects of precision bolt work. time is not a MAJOR issue and I don't squabble about the cost. I would prefer its someone you have personal experience with rather the rumors. I have already been down that road. THANX IN ADVANCE!

Shortbarrelpete Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 GA precision in kansas city is very hard to beat. I went to Colorado school of trades with one of their guys, matt hock. He's top notch! Their prices reflect their quality. No idea on their lead times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
