I picked up someone’s .505 Gibbs project it had lots of parts but little work done. There were 3 p14/m17 receivers and parts to round them out. I matched them up by parts Remington with Remington, Winchester with Winchester and ERA with ERA. They have the ears cut and polished but that’s about the extent of the work.
I have been sitting on these for a few years and I need to wrap up unfinished projects. One I would like in .500 s&w mag as a brush gun for east coast US woods hunting. I have a barrel blank from green mountain. I turned it and started the threading process only to find out the half nuts in my lathe are shot and I can’t do it accurately.
I want to send the work to a competent gun smith familiar with the p14 who doesn’t have a year lead time. The local guys in eastern NC want to work on glocks and duracoat.
Any recommendations? Bonus points if they are within 100 miles of Raleigh
I would like someone I can continue to work with because the other 2 will be a .416 Rigby and 9.3x62.
