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?

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.
