Central Texas Gunsmith Recommendations

[wingshot74]

Good morning,

I have an older FN 458 win mag that I’d like to have the barrel cut down to make it more brush and thorn carry-friendly in the jess.
I live in the people’s republic of Austin and none of the gunsmiths I have used here in the the past decade I feel are capable or the ones in the vicinity that I have used in this century are deceased retired or both.

Has anyone had a good recent experience that could make a recommendation?

Thank you

I read in one of the Safari newspapers that Cole’s has opened a shop in San Antonio.

Tip Burns, Canyon Lake Tx. Tip is one of the good ones and is very familiar with big bore rifles.

Hill Country does great work…

I’ve had very good service at Liberty Gunsmithing on South Congress. He sorted out an ejection problem on my Whitworth .458 and also tightened the action on my WJ Jeffery SxS 20ga. I know he can easily handle shortening the barrel on your FN and put whatever crown on it you want.

I second this; Tip took my .375 BRNO from a rough barely used rifle to a world wide capable rifle.
