xausaMauser 66 gunsmith
Does anyone know of a gunsmith willing and able to take on one of these? I bought one in 8X68 with extra barrel in 7mm SE vom Hofe. However, the second barrel will not fit. It seems to be a simple job of slightly opening the barrel channel, but I would rather let someone who is familiar with the rifle do it.

richjMy barrels are very tight in the half moon section. Actually need a tool to pop them out sometimes.
Interesting calibers you have there.

RIPBill,
I still have your number.

Sounds like a simple job for a steady hand like Rusty McGee.
But he has been stiffed a few times by yay-hoos shipping work to him (even some members here)
so he might be planning to start accepting work on a face-to-face basis only.
If you can drive it to him and shake hands, I bet he would do it, especially for an intersting guy like you.
