Gunsmith Needed

[Mark@Sea]

Through no fault of my own, I've recently become the custodian of an M1 Carbine 'kit'. All GI, except for a 'new' Springfield Armory receiver and a new commercial barrel.

Fine and dandy, but I have neither the tools nor the experience to assemble the barrel to the receiver. Checked with Deans' Gun Refinishing, and he isn't interested in the job.

Any 'smiths want to tackle this?

Thanks DaG, I'll give them a call next week.

Good luck with this. Last I heard, they were covered up with new orders and were sending business such as this to another local shop close by. Guns and more, or guns and such....I can't remember.

Predator and Guns 'n More are out of the same building on Kingston Pike.

[Guest Boomhower]

But their different businesses, right?

[Mark@Sea]

E-mailed them, no reply as of yet...

[Guest BigJ45]

Predator is a gunsmithing/custom shop and Guns and More is a retail gun shop located in the same business.

Could not tell you that, if i stop there to BS with them tomorrow I will ask.

Mark? Can you leave them at my house to test this theory?

[Mark@Sea]

Sure... I just get pick of the litter...
