    Default Locating a gunsmith

    About a year and a half ago I bought a k98k rifle dated to WWII. I haven't been able to shoot it yet because I haven't found a range that allows .30-30-06 caliber rifles at their ranges. Also for safety reasons I wanted to get the gun checked before I shoot it. I want to make sure the head space is ok and to see what condition the rifling is in. Does anyone here know of a good gunsmith in the Philadelphia area that can inspect my gun? I guess I could just go out and shoot it and see what happens but I'm afraid the thing will blow up on me because of bad headspacing.

    EDIT-Did an internet search and checked the yellow pages and came up with nothing. Could it be there are no gunsmiths in the whole Philadelphia area?

    Check your local gunshops most have a gunsmith. I know classic pistol has one as well a quinby's and clayton's. They charge about 25 bucks to check the headspace.
