Gunsmith in LV

**tkdfav** · February 17th, 2009, 09:34 PM

I'm looking for a gunsmith in the Lehigh Valley area (or close to) to put night sights on for now, and to do work later on. Anyone know of a reputable place to go. Army Navy in Whitehall told me of a place in Topton, but after the hassle they've caused me I don't trust anything they say

Thanks in advance

How far north?? im in the lehigh valley too and i've been thinking of getting a new gunsmith. I've been going to golden trigger. I've heard a lot of negative stuff about the owner but he has always been honest with me. However, it just cost me 60$ for him to put night sights on a handgun. Plus, its a 20 min drive to emmaus.

Guy's looking for a gunsmith in the Valley check out Precision Armaments located on Rt. 873 outside of Slatington, The owner Charlie will take good care of you. I have been doing business with him for years and have never been disappointed with his work or prices. You can find his number in the book.

The place in Topton is the Handgunner. If you do a search on this forum you'll get quite a lot of opinions on them. I've had them work on several guns, and I've been pleased with their work.

I've gotten alot of work done by Randy at the Handgunner in Topton. Always been top shelf.

I have gone to Lester Knipe - The Varmint Shop - for many years and he does good work and is reasonably priced.

He works out of a shop at his house to keep overhead low.

He is in Orefield three houses off of route 309

Highly recomended.

I noticed Chuck Lutz was listed.

I have known Chuck Lutz for 40 years - he was the guy who took me hunting deer for my first time.

Great Guy and very competent gun smith.

Might be a necro post, but I can second Lester Knipe. Good guy. Has done a ton of work for my family. Glass bedded a 22-250, triggers on T/C firestorms, blueing on some shotguns, even could fix my old Sears Ted Williams 20g semi shotgun that others told me to scrap. Excellent prices and always a quick turn around.
