machinist needed
« on: January 27, 2012, 02:20:56 AM »
   I am looking for someone to install a patent breech on a rifle barrel.  The barrel is already fitted to the stock.  I am basically looking for a “drop in” job.  I know that I will need to do a little work but I don’t want to shorten the stock or move the lock.  Does anyone here  know of anyone who is able to do this?
                                                                       Thanks, Brian

Thank You.  I also had some PM's with the same name.

I just got off the phone with him.  I am sending him a rifle to fix.  (the one I posted about a couple weeks ago)  I personally felt, as did Dennis, that the fix would have held with with shooting 25 gr of ffg but if someone else decided to shoot 50 gr of ffg, the drum may blow off.
   Either way, I have decided to sell the rifle and wanted to have it fixed to reduce my risks of being sued.  Better safe than sorry.
                                             Thanks again to all the advice, Brian
