Does anyone have any gunsmith suggestions for threading a Remington 700 barrel and installing the BP?
I can go to the expense of buying a indicator pin from Dave Kiff and walk my high school buddy (Brenchrest gunsmith) threw what I want done once I get my BP from Pete but I think it would be cheaper if I sent the barrel and action to someone who has already done one of these 45 barrels, has the tooling and is willing to install the BP for me.
I also want to get the receiver recoil lug pinned and have considered Dave Tooley because he is supposed to be good and is fairly close but I am still open to suggestions if someone knows of another who can do it just as well and cheaper.

No Tar, I have in hand a Krieger #7 contour 45-70 barrel blank I bought last year that I need threaded, tapped and crowned. It requires a indicator pin for a .450 barrel which most gunsmith probably won't have. Just trying to ask if anyone knows of a good gunsmith that may already have the proper tooling for this job and be familiar and comfortable with the task. Some gunsmith don't want anything to do with things they are not familiar with.

You can also try Leonard Baity up in N. Wilksboro NC which is closer yet to you. He is a accuracy oriented benchrest gunsmith along with being a 1,000 and 600 yard benchrest shooter. He is also building custom actions now. www.merchantcircle.com/business/Baitys.Custom.Gunworks.336-667-8785You can mention my name if you call him as I have shot for years with him. Clay Spencer, another accuracy gunsmith is also up in Va. spencerriflebarrels.com/I know Dave Tooley well but doubt he would do it..............he has is doing a lot of barreling work for Accuracy International on his new CNC lathe? You could ask? Richard

1shot1kill seems like a logical choice to me. You can pm him on this board.
