Real gunsmiths

Mark from Desert Guns Cromwell did a couple of trigger jobs for me spot on.

For my centrefires I've had 4 jobs done by Hugh Bradley, found his work to be superb, no rush jobs, gets things done properly and asks plenty of questions and gives excellent advice, can't recommend him enough. Unsure of his training background.

similar with gundoc -had work done my my old.303 when he was in brisbane st and all i can say was he did a bloody great job with the rifle ,but also taking time to explain to me(a complete novice) exactly what he was doing and how he went about it. in latter years i had him do some work on a late uncles firearms-again couldnt fault him.
he built a bloody nice 7x57 for a cobber of mine too(unfortunatyely some low bastards theiving paws later nailed it and a walther.22-never recovered)which was a sweet wee shooter.
?greg maclutitis(?spelling) seems popular here in chch likewise of course mr robbie tiffen going by what ive heard on and off from people.but at the end of the day like a lot these days its horses for courses

Definitely recommend Alan, I’ve used him and I know a lot of other people that have used him as well,

The best make mistakes too. They are only human. I've had some very poor work from 2 of the highly rated 'smiths here. One was a Ruger trigger which allowed the rifle to discharge while closing the bolt off cock, and the other was machining marks on a barrel and the extractor clip not ground for a new size case head (same rifle).

And from the worst on here I had a shocker of a gouged barrel after a threading job.

Always have a careful look at any work you receive back from any gunsmith.

A great thread idea. Anyway, G'day team. I'm quite obviously new to this (any) blog type forum.
I have a 2nd hand Henry and I need a gunsmith who know this tool.

Cheers in advance
