Looking for my missing gunsmith..:)

[flybynyt]

I was referred on this forum to a gunsmith that threaded the barrel on my Old Henry .22 lever action.
I have another project and ,
for the life of me I cant find his phone number. (I'm getting old). He is in Vancouver, not far off Leiser rd. I remember where he lives, but I dont want to just drop by unannounced. I will attach a couple pics of the work. Please PM me if you have his contact info.
Thank you.

No idea..

I always recommend @Velzey or @NWCustomFirearms for any gun work big or small as they haven't had any complaints and do great work.

Velzey is in OR and NWCustom is in Vamcouver near E 18th and Andreason just south of forth plain.

If you have the street address you may be able to do a business license search at the WA state site. Or if he has a FFL do the same search at ATF. I'm not sure if either will return a phone number but there's always Google.

Worst case, you could write him a letter and mail it to him. Assuming you have some old postage stamps lying around.

What's a postage stamp?...LOL

The one I know of is Clark County Gunsmithing, 4004 Clark Ave, (360) 694-7858

His name is Les. But he is off the Evergreen Blvd. exit, not Leiser.

That doesn't look like my threading. I always put a nice thread relief at the end of the threads and the shoulder.
But I can thread one for you no problem!

 

[flybynyt]

Thanks, all for the help. Velzey, I will contact you for more info.

I don't know Velzey, but his Smithing opines, and attention to details professed by others and himself have been spot on from my private and professional perspective. For instants, unless you are threading water pipe or yard art, a thread relief may have a multiple of mechanical advantages along with the aesthetics of a job well done. I would not hesitate to seek him out should I have the need. To me, attention to detail and finishing touches differentiate the jack of all trades from the craftsman.

Just LOOKIT that gorgeous barrel cut-down, crown, and thread job @Velzey did for me!!

 

[fredball]

Clark county gun smithing does not thread barrels ,

 

[Velzey]

The barrel extension was put on so the mag tube didn't need to be cut back. Which is rather easy to do.
@jbett98 I have a way now to modify some tube fed .22's that use a suppressor. I have done a couple like the below photo (this is a googled pic, I was lazy and didn't take a pic of the ones I did) But if the mag tube mount is back a several inches from the muzzle, I can bend the assembly very slightly and install a spacer so your rifle isn't a single shot anymore.

 

[flybynyt]

Velzey,
That is exactly what I want. To be able to remove the mag tube without removing the suppressor.
Looking forward to procuring your service!
The one I had before, had an extension, bit I still had to remove the suppressor to reload. A bit of a pain.

There is a very good reason Tim is recommended very highly by a whole ton of people here on the forum. Hard to go wrong if you take it to the right guy first.

I hear ya. Thanks again all.
