Class 3 dealers near Bradford Pa?
I have an arsenal 106U that I'm in the process of getting a tax stamp for (form 1).
Today I stopped at Allegany Arsenal (a class 3 dealer in bradford), and asked the owner if they could do my trust engraving and cut and crown the barrel once I got my tax stamp in. The owner said that "that is something we don't do at this time".
My question is; does anyone know of any other class 3 dealers anywhere close to bradford that would be able to do this type of work? I'd rather have the work done by a pro than attempt cutting and recrowning the barrel myself.
I live a little less than 2 hours east of Erie PA in Mckean county and wouldn't mind traveling 2 hrs. or so to get the work done.
I haven't even got my stamp back yet, but I'd like to call around and start laying the groundwork so I can get my krink chopped ASAP once I do get the tax stamp.
Thanks for any help.

Re: Class 3 dealers near Bradford Pa?
You need a gunsmith more than you need a class 3 dealer. Class 3 dealers aren't necessarily manufacturers or gunsmiths. If you have your completed paperwork, you should be able to find a gunsmith who can do the chop and crown. Some of them may shy away from it if they're not familiar with the Form 1 process and legality. Engraving can be done by anyone with the proper equipment. Check your yellow pages for jewelers or trophy shops, they usually have that kind of equipment.
Or, you could always get a set of hand stamps and do it yourself.

Re: Class 3 dealers near Bradford Pa?
Only problem is none of the gunsmiths around here are familiar with the whole class 3 thing. Everyone (even gun dealers) around here thinks that ANY SBR/SBS/AOW are illegal.
My best hope was for Allegany Arsenal's gunsmith to do the chop for me, but since that isn't an option, my hope is to find either a class 3 dealer with a gunsmith or a gunsmith who's familiar with class 3 laws. The engraving isn't a problem as I've found a local shop that will do the engraving.
Best bet for me would be to find something in Erie, since we go shopping there every month or so. I wouldn't even mind waiting for a non-class 3 gunsmith to do the work (since I wouldn't be able to leave it), for all the longer it would take to do a simple cut and crown.
So, anyone know of a class 3 dealer with a gunsmith near Erie, or a gunsmith who's aware of the whole tax stamp thing?
Thanks again guys.

Re: Class 3 dealers near Bradford Pa?
This was an issue with another member a while ago. He had a hard time finding a smith to cut the barrel for the same reason. I think he ended up shipping it out.
Did you try Tex's on 59?
Also try calling Rytek in Emporium. I was in their once, and he seemed knowledgeable.
I think his main business is custom competition rifles.FUCK BIDEN
