Looking for a Gunsmith that does Stocks (wood)

**Pizza Bob** · January 2nd, 2009, 01:37 PM

I think my next project may be restoring my father's varmint rifle. It is an old Savage 110L (yes, that is LH) from the '60's, and was originally chambered in .243 Win. In his lifetime he literally shot-out that barrel, so it was rebarrelled in .22-250 in a medium weight/taper bull barrel by Wally Hart. I'm RH'd and am considering this stock...

...as shown in the tigerwood laminate. Handy I am not, so I'd like to find a gunsmith in eastern PA or NJ that specializes in stocking rifles. He'll have to finish inlet it, glass-bed the action and free-float the barrel. Would also like a grip-cap and matching schnable w/spacers and apply the final finish. It'll be a RH stock for a LH action. May want to have the action/barrel re-blued also (haven't looked at this gun for a while).

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your input.

Adios,

I can't remember the guy's name, but he's in Nazareth and specializes in stocks. A friend got a nice custom glass embedded stock there. It is just a guy working out of his basement. Freidensthal and 2nd st, he opens after 6 or 7pm weekdays I think...

I had the guy look over my old 30-30 that was given to me, otherwise don't know much about him. If I remember his name I will post it.

Thanks Matt, I appreciate the effort. However, I attended the MAAC show in Oaks, PA this past weekend and found a guy there (Bakers Gun Shop) from Bensalem, PA, that not only does custom stocking but carries the same line I linked to in my original post. Makes it easy for one source accountability and hand delivery of the rifle. Still wouldn't mind knowing the name of your guy, as a back-up. Thanks again.

Adios,
