Gunsmith in Bend for Barrel Threading

[DavidG]

Looking for recommendations in the Bend/Redmond/Sisters area to thread an old rimfire rifle. I shoot .22 short out of it and would like to throw a Bowers Bitty on it.

Stuck in the same boat you are but for a different project. Looks like Bryan Scott at Centerfire in Redmond might be an option?

I wanted to use them but they quoted me $200 to do a pin and weld muzzle device which feels like crazy money. And double that in labor for an AR rebarrel, I didn't want to even get the quote for doing any other work after those numbers. I felt like he was blowing smoke to see if I was a sucker.

For the next person who finds this, Crown Innovation is ...difficult... to work with, no work ethic, not great communication, inflated prices. I can recommend Randy Wills at "The Rifle Shop" for bolt gun stuff and general repairs, he's just an old retired guy with a machine shop but he's consistent and his prices are fair.

Has anyone used Jake out in Prineville?

Hello,
Wil at Crown Innovation (https://www.crowninnovate.com/) is phenomenal and does all my work and worth a call. I know like all the rest of the gunsmiths he is very busy, but worth the wait. I am sorry that emtaytay97 did not have a good expirience, but Wil is a very talented gunsmith and worth every penny. He has helped me in every means possible.

Good Luck, JR

He goes by "Will" not "Wil", just so anyone who does try them doesn't come across as being disrespectful. [email protected] he responds faster via email than phone.

Hi Kawigirl101,

Did you drop the barrel off at Crown? Text me later if you did.
