Hello guys,

I have a custom .308 Win that I would like to have the barrel shortened about 2". The fellow that built the rifle is an AR member but he is out of Salt Lake City. I hate to ship the rifle all the way to Salt Lake City just to have the barrel cut and re-crowned when I know that we have reputable gunsmiths in GA. I just don't know who they are.

Can anyone recommend a reputable gunsmith in the Atlanta area? Preferably on the north side.

Thanks in advance...

You may try Deercreek Gunshop in Marrietta Fairground St. downtown ,I don't remember the phone#. The old guy Known as "The Talker" is very good and fair priced. However they are rather slow. There is a guy in Fayettville that post on the AR website . From what I hear he does outstanding work (Roger Ferell) I think is his name?? Good Luck Ben(rug)

In case you look up Roger in the phone book, "Ferrell" had two (r)'s.

Norm Myers at Heritage Custom Arms is pretty good. He's in Rossville and built my 275 Rigby for me a couple of years ago. Very good work and good pricing.

Tucker Gun on Lawrenceville Hwy also has a good smith. I had one cut and recrowned and it was ready to pick up in 2 days.
Good shooting,
Weagle

Thanks for the information guys!!

Deercreek's number is 770 425 5060 which is on Fairground St. in Marietta..

Pat is the "talker" His son is the smith.

roger farrel is hands down the best from what i hear and he is in fayetteville but worth the trip. he posts on here as well under "Rogersgunworks" i think

Jack Ott rimfire gunworks in waleska north of woodstock excellent work

Bob's Custom Firearms in Palmetto on the south side of Atlanta on highway 29 is a good place to go. Bob has been in business for 27 yrs and does very good work.

x-caliber Jack is a great guy,does excellent work,and has been in the businees a long time.He came recommended by a friend and I have not been disappointed yet.He just finshed mounting a scope on a weatherby for me last week and accurized a rem 700 last year with good results.
