Salem Area Gunsmith for Barrel Threading

[kmk1012]

I've always used @Velzey for gunsmithing but while he's is recovering, prayers always, I need someone to thread a Lee Enfield that has been converted to 45 ACP and takes 1911 mags. I read that Todd Koonce (possibly spelled wrong) has shut down. Anyone have a suggestion for this job?

Ron and Doug are great but I don't think Doug threads barrels

Ya give him a call. He was setting up a new Lazer engraver so I can't imagine he's close down

I'm having fun with my new suppressor and going through the gun safes looking for what to get threaded now. I think this 45 ACP bolt action would fit the bill great.

That would be a hoot!

Not in Salem but there is a Gunsmith I take my stuff too in Lincoln City, does good work and pricing in my opinion quite affordable...

That's good to know, might have to use them as I called another local smith and they are appointment only and close at 5:00. I'd have to leave work early twice just to get it threaded.

How'd everything work out?

You could probably call Pewnitions Factory. They have a pretty good gunsmmith there. They're in Salem.

I elected to drop off elsewhere with a smith I've worked with in the past. He does the very best work but is a bit of a drive, I'm in no hurry for this rifle so it's worth the wait.

I've got an old kit to turn an Enfield into a Delisle wannabee. Still sitting in its box a couple of decades later.

If you're not interested in using it, might consider selling it. My Delisle garners a lot of interest everywhere I take it and I routinely get offers for it. On that note, PM me if you are interested in selling or trading, I may be of interest in another, they are tons of fun.
