Don't just lurk..... we need a top notch gunsmith and all-around good "Guy" on the forum. Mike | ||

Howdy Mike, That's wierd, how did you know I was lurking? That is Spooky! Actually, I've been over on the gunsmithing site pissing someone off. Malm | ||

Malm, note that those logged on appears on the screen..... you can run, but you cannot hide! Here's a big welcome, Malm. ![[Big Grin]](images/icons/grin.gif){kind=icon} Folks, let me introduce one of the finest people on earth and one of the best all around gunsmiths I have encountered anywhere in all the states where I have lived or done gunshows. Malm can do all the tasks that require an FFL, which I do not have. This includes rifle work and all sorts of handgun work. The man is GOOD. I have known Guy and his wife since the early '80s, literally danced to this drummer, and consumed a lot of his coffee. He and his wife used to have a band, and I still say Malm sings Kenny Rogers songs far better than Kenny ever did! His by line below is more accurate than you might think. This talented individual excells at everything he puts his hands to..... man is that wide open! ![[Eek!]](images/icons/shocked.gif){kind=icon} He does make mistakes, but he was gracious enough to pass on the cure for making mistakes.... eat a box of D-Con. Do that and you won't make any more of them. I guess he has only been tempted to do so, and that is why he is still with us. (Still got that box of D-Con I brought you?) Many of you have heard me mention Malm before. Now, here he is...... Mike | |||

Welcome aboard.... And if I must say: If you have Mike's recommendation, that certainly is an endorsement of your character & integrity. | |||

Further to that, Bobby, there are a total of 3 people I have loaned reamers to in 23 years: Dave Fansler, a former barrel maker in Montrose, CO, Guy Malmborg, and finally, P.O. Ackley himself. Guy now has a better compliment of reamers, but where practical, can still borrow reamers from me. This speaks volumes also...... if you understand how folks like us look at reamers.

Malm, Welcome aboard! I took a gander at your posts over at the Gunsmithing forum...from my perspective, those were very good responses regarding muzzle brakes and muzzle crowns! I hope to see you share your thoughts and knowledge similarly over here What type of gunsmithing do you specialize in, or do you do a wide variety? Specifically, I have a Rem 581 that I'd like a Heavy barrel put onto [pictured below], and the existing stock barrel channel simply hogged out to accomodate the new barrel. I am looking to hog out the stock myself, but was curious to know if you do this kind of barrel work? Aside from Mike [who doesn't do that type work anymore] and Kenney Jarrett [who also does not do that type work anymore and is solely making his own brand $$$$$ rifles now] there are very few Gunsmiths that I trust. That being said, if Mike recommends you, and given what I have read in your posts, you must be good people! Let me know about the barrel work ![[Smile]](images/icons/smile.gif){kind=icon}  [ 10-17-2002, 06:55: Message edited by: Sean VHA #60013 ] | |||

Sean- Strange you should mention that. I have a 581 sitting in the back of the safe that I was considering having the same thing done to. I've contemplated this for several years but never got around to it (centerfires get much more of my attention). There's as 'smith an hour from my location, and he does good work. But I do like to give others a try. Keep us posted should you get yours re-barreled ....I may want to have the same treatment for my 581. | |||
|
| <G.Malmborg> |
Sean, Sure I can rebarrel the 581. Tell me what you want. Flute, straight barrel, heck if you want, I can port the gun so as to increase recoil... I'm easy. I specialize in both surgical strike weapons as well as hunting rifles. I specialize in fine tuning Remington factory triggers and performing Ruger #1 trigger modifications. I work on single shot weapons to full autos and I work on handguns. Anything requiring precision and I am on board! You can email me off list for quotes. Regards, Malm | ||

Like I said, he is good all around. And for the snobs that only deal with store front production shops with a big name and ???? employees????? doing the work for the guy on the phone or in the counting house, you won't want to do business with Mr. Malmborg. HE WORKS IN HIS BASEMENT...... where craftsmanship is more likely to be found with the owner/operator doing the work and putting his name to it personally. Malm, we had a pretty good go around here about "basement bandits" which brought the snobs out of hiding. My retort then, and still, is that I would personally 10 to 1 rather deal with the craftsman in the basement, and at the time, I named you as the gunsmith's gunsmith that I go to.... working in the basement. Just a bit of background.Mike | |||

Working from ones home has its advantages and disadvantages. I can work longer hours than most folks because I don't have to commute very far. And if I fall asleep at work, hey, I'm already home. Your neighborhood is generally the safest in town. You are always home so no one can burgle you. The disadvantage for working in ones basement is, your always home! You lose friends real fast to back injuries moving big ass pieces of machine equipment (Lathe, Mill, Heliarc Welder, etc.) that have no business going down stairs, down the stairs. Turning the whole of the basement into a machine shop complete with an area for test firing while staying married is one balancing act to behold. So those snobs who only think store front businesses are where the action is or should be, I say, Bite me! My opinion of course. Malm | ||

An attitude like that will get you "run off" from most places! Fortunately this is not "most places" and only further entrenches you as "one of us"! | |||

Malm welcome. get used to seeing that picture of Sean's ground hog ![[Roll Eyes]](images/icons/rolleyes.gif){kind=icon} (singular). Every once in a while he will post a picture of it laying next to a different gun to get us to think he may have actually shot another one. Sean are you keeping that critter in the freezer now and letting it thaw for the photo ops.??? | |||

Okay - Mr. Malmborg... I was already convinced that you were a great guy when Mike gave your bio. Now, with the proper use of the term "bite me", you have achieved near hero status in my book. Wish I had some money to send you an XP to rebarrel... steve | |||

Malm Glad you made it here. Looks like you've already become one of the family. These guys are great & there are a lot of info & laughs at times. I read your replies about barrel crowns on the gunsmithing forum. While I'm no gunsmith I found out how important a good crown is. I had a little accident a little while ago with my 45 Colt Barrel for my contender. It sure open up groups quite a bit. I then sent it to Mike & he recrowned it with a new 11 deg crown. Groups were back to normal. It was good seeing your knowledge on those posts. Welcome. Rich Jake | |||

Malm, You definately fit in here Most of the folks here are real shooters and smiths, and yeah we pretty much all get along. Occasionally a degenerate will try and rile us up, but they seem to disappear after awhile.I'm a wanna be basement bomber, trouble is, I got married and had kids before getting the lathe and mill in the basement ![[Frown]](images/icons/frown.gif){kind=icon} One of these days a 12X36 or 13X40 will follow me home, and hopefully in time for the kids to learn to use it before they head out on their own. | |||
|
| <G.Malmborg> |
Paul, Right on. But get the lathe while the kids are young if for nothing more than the following reason. Kids tend to heal easy and can be used as "wheel chocks" while getting it down the stairs. Oh sure they whine and complain but so would your buddies who are less forgiving and you won't have to buy them beer, your wife will see to that. In time, the kids will have forgotten the pain and the wife will have forgotten the damage and the urine stains on the stairs. Do it early while there is still time to forget... If you need help, I will come and lend you moral support. I always did want to go to Alaska... Malm | ||

Malm Do you do higer end stuff only? Would you do a rechamber of a Savage rifle from 22 Hornet to K Hornet? Rich Jake | |||

I didn't mention Malm was a bit of a comic. I 'bout busted a gut after I told Malm in an email that Sean's family bred Arabs (horses of course) and you came back with the fact that your family bred Swedes. Mike | |||

Malm, this particular forum is known as the Graybeard Outdoors refugee camp. Most of us used to post on the Graybeard Outdoors TC forums until ole Graybeard banished me from his forum for rocking the boat too much. Quite a few others here got the same treatment, and this is where we landed. Mike | |||

MSSMagnum, Nice looking rigs & chucks! I especially like the 500+ yard shot How has this spring, summer, & fall been for you regarding Woodchuck hunting? | |||
|
| <G.Malmborg> |
Nice pictures, but is that freezer burn I see? I do high end stuff and low end stuff and, yes I can do the Savage... Sorry, didn't mean to imply that I consider the Savage low end stuff. Malm | ||
|
| one of us |
Malm No offense Taken. I know what people's opinion of some rifles that's why I posted it the way that I did. This rifle already shoots very well even if it is a Savage. It'll hit 1" dot at 100 yards all day. I just like to give it a little bit more & have been thinking about having this done for a while. Just don't want to have some one do it & make it worse. It sounds like you are particular about your work & with Mike's Recomendation you might be just the person that I was looking for to do the job. Rich Jake p.s. I'll be emailing you for your prices. | |||

quote:Malm, Good news/ bad news. The shop area is a heated two car garage, so no problem bringing machinery in. The bad news is, for 1/2 the year we put both cars in the garage, and the other 1/2 of the year it seems the kids bikes take over as soon as I vacate in the spring. I'll be happy enough when the kids are old enough to mow and rake the lawn. One of the things folks considering moving up here aren't told is that while the lawn only grows 4 months out of the year, you still get 12 months worth of growth with all the light. To top it off, on the crummy rainy days where you aren't fishing after work, the mower clogs up. On the one nice day a week where the grass is finally dry enough to mow, you want to take the boat to the lake to go after some trout. Seriously though, if you want to come up, let me know if I can provide any info or suggestions on places to go, things to do et al. It's actually even better then it sounds, we came up for our honeymoon, and I knew I was home (Norwegian blood) | |||

Malm Welcome to the agreeable codgers forum! Well mostly agreeable . . . Well most of the time . . . Well once in a while then just to be plain spoken about it . . . Well really not very often, but we can tolerate it just fine! That said are we lucky enough you have a web site? LouisB | |||
|
| <G.Malmborg> |
Sorry, the only web site I have is the dark corner of the shop where the black widows hang and where a shit load of springs and loose parts sometimes fly. I will be working on a computer type site as soon as I figure out the basics. Paul, How big is the lake? How deep it is? What is in the lake? Do they allow speer fishing? How far are you from the ocean? Any dive shops in the area? Any good looking women with boats? Any ugly women with boats? Oops, gotta go, the wife just came down to my "Gungeon"... Malm | ||

quote:I live just outside of Anchorage, and there are many lakes around us. The two I fish at are small, and not very deep, one I doubt goes over 10', the other may hit 20' in spots. Suprisingly I've seen divers in the shallower lake. Both are stocked with trout, but some bone head introduced pike in the deeper lake, and you are incoraged to take pike by any means possible by fish and game. I got spoiled learning to dive in Hawaii so haven't persued diving here. I counted two or three in the phonebook, and I know folks go to Whittier, bout 1 1/2 hours from here to dive, it is in Prince William sound which is a beautiful protected water way. You don't want to be in the waters around Anchorage, they sport the second largest tide swing in the world, and are incredibly silty. Alaska is a land of extremes, we have both extremely beautiful women and extremely ugly women | |||
|
| <G.Malmborg> |
Yes Paul, but do they have boats? Malm P.S. I was a Marine Corps diver among other things in 1970 and likewise learned to dive in Hawaii. Now that I am a gunsmith and SCUBA instructor, I can only afford ugly females (Sorry sweetheart, I didn't mean you) and diving dark, silty lakes strewn with corn, beer cans and an occasional condom... | ||

Welcome to the forums. I'm mostly a lurker, but I jump in and fight with Mike sometimes. As a fellow gunsmith/machinist, I can say that the guys on these forums are top notch (yes even you Mike ). I hope you enjoy your time here. | |||
