Gunsmiths in Nashville for threading a barrel

[shackelford]

I have two rifles that I would like re-crowned and threaded. Who in the central Tennessee area would be the best for top quality work? Anyone have any experience with any local smiths who can do this work?

Jeff Walle at the Greenbriar Guns and Leather shop threaded two rifle barrels for me. No issues yet. It did take longer than I expected, but a busy smith is usually a good smith in my book.

One of the best in the country in my opinion is Jim Pixley at jpgrips.com
I have had him thread about 10 rifles and many pistols. I have sent him two Cooper 22s, 6 Kimber 22s including a Super America, a Weatherby XXII, and a few other high-end guns. It's hard to tell they have been worked on and they are oh so quiet. Shipping is easy as its not a gun, just a barrel.

Thanks for the replies. Both guns are bolt actions with receivers, so being full guns, they are more of a pain to ship out of state, so I would prefer to remain local.

Long guns can ship USPS and can  go direct to the smith and return from the smith, no FFL needed.

Mine were bolt guns too. I removed the sticks, triggers, and bolts. Shipped straight to him and back to me. Out via FedEx and back via ups.
