Hi all,
I would like to hear some reports on Dennis Olsen's work. I talked to him this morning and he seems nice enough, and his prices are fair.
Just trying to get some quality input so I can make a good decision.
Thanks, Doug

He did some bolt work for me that was better than my expectations. And he delivered when he said he would.

He has always done a great job for me.

He has done the metal work on two M-1917 Enfields for me, sporterizing both of them and done a tremendous job.

Rechambered and converted an '06 Remington 30 custom to .300 H&H, first class work.

He is one of the guys that you only hear good stuff about. He appears to be a class act and his work shows it.

I had him do the same work for me about 15 years ago. Absolutely first class workmanship all the way.

Dennis rebuilt a rifle for one of my friends and it is one of the nicest rifles I've seen for the hunting fields. He now has my Model 70 in 458 Lott to prep for an upcomming dangerous game hunt. He is as good as they come in MHO.


The only easy day is yesterday!

Thanks to all for your information. As soon as the bottom metal gets here, I'll send it off to Mr. Olsen.
Thanks again, Doug

The only work that Dennis has done for me was re-barrel my new, POS Kimber Montana. FINALLY, the damn thing shoots. IMHO, Dennis is a class act & I'll go to him in a heart beat again.

Has Dennis said what kind of backlog he has?

Dan,
He said 30 day turn-a-round.
Thanks, Doug

He has been doing metal work for me for about 35 years and I have no complaints..Sometimes he gets back up, but anyone thats any good stays pretty well behind...

He can make anything feed, Heck I think my .404 would have fed beer cans if I stuck them in it...

A 30 day turnaround is a big turnaround from what the backlog used to be! Good for him (and for customers).
