I was considering re-barreling my M14 a couple years ago and was going to use these guys to do it. Great reviews and reputable work. Its not local to you, but specialists rarely are in my experience.

Richard McCann passed away back in 2010, the loss was devastating to the company and I think they are just a shell of what once was. You might try Ted Brown dba Shooters Den

I am thinking the default was Ted Brown was concerned bout the new laws in Oregon-was going to just drop it off on a trip to crater lake yeah he is way south almost CA. Sorry about Richard I must have gotten a couple of his mounts right before he died then. Nice mounts well engineered light and rock solid.

Another on my short list as is Fulton Armory and LRB in New York state. Nothing like being on the edge of civilization and all. Thanks much

Fulton has a great rep but the prices were high for what I wanted. I make a couple trips a year to AZ so SMI was the top of my list.

They around Phoenix? I sincerely want to move to Prescott for the weather not famous gun ranch or Ruger or anything like that just for the old asthma and the bicycle trails

 

[B5Ben]

They are in Tempe, suburb of Phoenix.

Thanks yeah they might be the choice we do a Tucson run once a year lately. Or can just figure out their backlog time. They are dangerous I want a crazy Horse rifle. Though may just put a barrelled action in my Gen 2 JAE chassis.

Thanks for the assist

I was gonna suggest you, as somehow I remembered that but I wasn't sure of your schedule (all things considered).

I had to look up estacada OR much closer than Browns place almost to CA. In my safe I have either a kreiger or a Hart barrel, need to make sure is serviceable I seem to remember swabbing it with lubriplate or similar not cosmoline but mostly has sat in my safe for many moves over the last 20years or so. That will be the first step. I have the manuals and books from the Fulton Armory guys and I suspect that if one has done any of that a couple times is easier than it looks but lots of details about clocking and head spacing s and the base gun is a Springfield Armory that I unitized the gas system on.

 

[Velzey]

I can rebarrel it for you no problem.

 

[markstempski]

Will let you know when I am ready and the funds free up a little
thanks
