CZ550 Stock Work Houston
Anyone have a recommendation on a good gunsmith in the Houston area to bed a CZ550 Safari Magnum and install some cross bolts in the stock?

Have used MG Arms before with good results, but curious if there are other good gunsmiths in Houston for this sort of work.

Briley does good work beltway 8 and I-10 on the west side, or if you care for a drive Hillcountry Rifles in san marcos they do excellent work.

If you are from Kingwood, then Charlie Sisk is probably within 30 minutes of you. Charlie builds some nice rifles and I imagine he will bed a factory rifle at a shop rate of "so much" an hour. He has a website:" siskguns".

Charlie is a great guy and does first rate work..

You need it bedded, xbolted, and a pin run down the wrist and bedding.

also, I can do this for you, if you are willing to spend about 1/2 a day in porter.

Rusty, I believe Tip does his own glass bedding and farms out the more intricate stock work to John.

You would be satisfied, however, with the craftsmanship of each of these guys.

Jeffe is the real deal too, and closer.

Jeffe,

Thanks for the offer of assistance. Hell, we are damn near neighbors. I have spent a good part of my life at the Home Depot in Porter. Smiler

How difficult a job is it to do the bedding and the cross bolts? I presume that the bedding would be done with steelbed as opposed to glass, is that right? The bedding seems straightforward enough, but drilling holes for the cross bolts -- in my new, unfired rifle stock -- makes me nervous.

Thanks to the other posters for the information.

Mike
