Any "Gararand-smiths" in West PA/East Ohio areas?

Subject line sez it all - looking for a "Garandsmith" closer to home turf vs. shipping accross country.

TIA!

Let me know if you find any I'm looking to have a m1a rebarrel'd and bedded but I don't want to ship it anywhere. I'd rather drive a couple hours than have to ship it to somewhere else in the country so I know what you mean.

I may know someone who can help you, it would help a ton if you specified what you wanted/needed done on the rifle.

True - should have been a bit more specific; want my 30.06 gun changed to .308.
(Would really like it in 7.62x39 or 7.62x54R, but that would be like eggs in the beer...)

In any event, have read that this requires the right tools and mad skills to chamber/ream, index, and headspace the replacment, plus possible op-rod adjust, and the optional-but-recommended spacer to prevent the indavertent insert of a 30.06 clip.

I've gotten several recommendations for ship-it-but-wait places with great reps. Would really prefer to keep a fellow PA'er at work.
