hello-
looking for info on a guy a friend had talked to a few years back. we cannot remember his name, except he makes custom rifles, bolt action and double rifles, and he is from north or south carolina. was hoping someone on here might have a possible lead. thanks!

I know a couple in North Carolina. Can you give a little more information such as what type of rifle are you looking at or maybe what part of the state? How long ago?

But for the double rifle part I would have guessed Kenny Jarrett too.

Isn't James Messer located in SC?
I have a rifle he made that I bought from the second owner that is awesome, unbelievably accurate.

I know he sells rifles, but did not know he makes any. His website lists repair and restoration.
